Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until onion is tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, red wine, Italian seasoning, sugar, garlic powder, and garlic salt. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and continue simmering while preparing meatballs.
- Mix ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, mozzarella cheese, and parsley in a large bowl. Roll walnut-size meatballs and place in the simmering sauce, making sure sauce covers entire meatball. Increase heat to medium and simmering until meatballs are no longer pink in the center, about 40 minutes, turning meatballs once about halfway through.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
- Serve meatballs and sauce over spaghetti with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

I think there is an error in the seasoning and wine amounts. Sauce was Very strong. Meatballs saved this recipe.

There must be something missing or something wrong with the proportions. I had to add water to thin down the sauce and the spices were overwhelming.

I tried it, I love it. However, I replaced the mozzarella in the meatballs with Parmesan, the parsley with basil. Meatballs should be pan-seared until golden brown before being put in the sauce,...
