directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 1. Saute 1/2 of the onion on the stove at low to medium heat until onion is translucent.
- 2. In a seperate bowl, mix beef, egg, toast, 1 T. basil, 1 T. Oregano, and sauteed onions. Roll mixture into golf ball size balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake for 25 minutes.
- 3. In a large pot, saute the other 1/2 of the onion and garlic. Add tomato sauce, Ragu spaghetti sauce, tomato paste, wine, 1 T. oregano, 1 T. basil, and 1 t. hot pepper flakes.
- 4. When meatballs have finished baking, add them directly to the spaghetti sauce (this step is important for the flavor of the sauce).
- 5. Simmer sauce for at least an additional 20 minutes until flavors are well blended ( the longer the better!).
