Spaghetti and Meatballs

Good Morning!!

Today is the off day for the exercise regimen.  Yay!!  The plank yesterday for 15 seconds I thought was going to kill me!!!

We had an amazing pot of spaghetti the other night.  It turned out really well and I made meatballs that were legal for it and they were yummy!!  I thought I would share my recipe with you for that.

Make golf ball size balls and place them in 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil to Brown

Brown on both sides

When browned, drop into sauce

So good and good for you!!!

Spagetti and Meatballs

1lb Ground Round

1lb turkey Sausage ( I used sweet italian)

1/4 cup Flax seed meal

1 Tablespoon Garlic

1 egg white

1 Tablespoon Italian Seasonings

1/4 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Salt and Pepper

 Mix all ingredients with hands and roll into balls.  Cook in pan with 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil til brown.  Drop into sauce and continue cooking on simmer for another 2 hours.  (The longer it cooks the better it is.  This can also be done the night before then dropped into a crock pot the following day to cook throughout the day in the sauce)

Sauce

1 Can Crushed Tomatoes

1 Can Tomato Sauce

1 Can Tomato Paste

1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning

1 Chopped Red Pepper

1-2 Tablespoons Minced Garlic

1 Teaspoon Each of Oregano, and Basil

Salt and Pepper

1/2-1 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese

While the balls are browning, cook pepper and garlic in 1 tablespoon olive oil til tender.  Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.   Add meatballs.  Turn to simmer and cook for another 2-3 hours (or put in crock pot)  Serve over cooked cauliflower as your "spaghetti" Yumm!!!!

Enjoy!!
