Best Spaghetti Sauce

Let’s start with the best spaghetti sauce. If you’re looking for new recipes, tips, techniques and ideas to help elevate your cooking and hosting, then you will love the superior quality of Tuttorosso Tomatoes. I keep my pantry stocked with these tomatoes because honestly, they are so rich, vibrant in color, and they take my recipes to the next level.

Tuttorosso Tomatoes do not use anything artificial, and their tomatoes are steamed to preserve the  integrity of the tomato, so they are natural, plump, and healthy!

Every can has a Steam Sealed Flavor-LocTM system to protect the fresh, delicious, vine-ripened flavors. So you know what I mean, the tomatoes do not taste as if they came out of a can!

See how thick and red and delicious this sauce looks? Our guests kept saying … the sauce, the sauce. :) Yes, it was that good. And easy!

Spaghetti and Meatballs

When I take a classic recipe, like Spaghetti and Meatballs, one that I know I can’t mess up on, I use quality ingredients, like Tuttorosso Tomatoes. I feel confident I can create the perfect meal for my family and guests when I use ingredients I can trust.

Start with an easy meatball recipe with fresh ingredients. Bake the meatballs while you are cooking the pasta.

Get the sauce cooking and simmering (oh my, the aromoa in the house!)

Arrange the salad ingredients.

Bake and slice the bread.

Put it all together. [NOTE: to keep the pasta hot, plate onto a large plate on the board and serve the pasta last!]

Don’t forget the Parmesan cheese and the butter!

Tuttorosso Tomatoes

Friends, here’s what I appreciate about and value about this family-owned company: Sustainability is foremost important in how they produce their tomatoes with NON-GMO ingredients and Non-BPA lined cans. I feel good inside knowing I’m giving my family and friends not only my best, but wholesome quality food (thank you, Tuttorosso Tomatoes).

There is just something so special about sitting down to eat and chat together. Sharing a meal with others is like inviting them to live life with you–in your own home and space. You are showing that you value their company enough to sit down and stay for a while.

Some of our best conversations have happened around this epic board. These are the times we’ve bonded with our kids’ friends, our friends, couples and neighbors, and it’s times like these that I truly cherish.

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 450 degress. On a larage baking sheet with lip, place down parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, add the beef, bread crumbs, onion, basil, garlic, salt, pepper, eggs, and mix well with hands. (Spray hands with cooking spray for non-sticking). Roll the meat into balls (about 18-24) and place on the baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes (depending on the size).

Add tomato paste; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in wine; cook 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, sugar, salt, pepper, and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 25 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
• Add meatballs to the sauce or serve on the side. If serving on the side, drizzle with Worcestershire.
• Follow freezing instructions, or continue recipe.
• Cook pasta according to package directions, drain. Top pasta with meatball mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
• Leave room on the board for the pasta sauce and the pasta, to add it last to the board right before serving.
• Serve the spaghetti sauce in the center of the board. Deconstruct a Casear Salad, baguette bread, and the pasta (on a large plate to keep hot), arranging it on the board.
• Add fresh Parmesan cheese and butter. Serve!
