Italy comes to my house tonight

Tonight I visit Italy or should I say Italy comes to my house. From the fresh bread to the different pastas and the rosemary flavored soups, Italy has the best and widest range of salads. And how can we forget the best wines come from Italy. Tonight as I welcome Italy to my house, I present this ever so romantic visitor with a feeling of home away from home serving the best pasta and meatballs sauce I have ever made.

Ingredients:
  • 1 kilogram of lean minced beef
  • 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg, slightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or a pinch just to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • vegetable cooking oil
  • 1 jar of spaghetti sauce from your grocery store or you can make your own at home
  • 3 cups cooked pasta
