Spaghetti & Meatballs

There's really not too much to say about this dish. Spaghetti, tomato sauce and meatballs. What's not to like?

Prep. Time: 30 mins.
Cooking Time: 1 hr. 15 mins.
Servings: 6-8


Ingredients:

Meatballs
1 clove garlic, minced
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp oregano
1 + 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3/4 lbs ground beef
3/4 lbs ground pork

Spaghetti Sauce
2 x 32 oz cans. of diced tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 yellow onion, chopped
3/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp basil
1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 lb spaghetti noodles


Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the minced garlic, egg, milk, Parmesan, bread crumbs, salt, oregano, Worcestershire, beef and pork.

Mold into individual meatballs, about the size of a golf-ball, and set aside.

In a large pot, saute the onions and garlic for approximately 5-10 mins.

Add in the tomatoes, oregano, basil, thyme, red pepper and meatballs and bring to a boil. If you're making the dish vegetarian, the meatballs can be pan fried for 10 mins. on the side instead of added directly into the sauce.

Cover and let simmer for 1 hr.

Serve over spaghetti.

Beer Battered Haddock

This is relatively simple to make and can be served as a main entree or used to make sandwiches. If you like the breading less crispy, just leave out the corn starch and baking powder.

Prep. Time: 10 mins.
Cooking Time: 15 mins.
Servings: 6-8


Ingredients:

2 cups flour
1 tsp Lawry's
1 tsp paprika
t tsp baking powder
1/4 cup corn starch
12 oz. bottle beer
48 oz. Vegetable Oil
1 + 1/2 lbs haddock, cut into 2" x 3 " pieces


Directions:

Mix the flour, Lawry's, paprika, baking powder and corn starch in a large mixing bowl.

Add the beer and 1/2 cup water and whisk.

Pour the vegetable oil into a deep pot or fryer set at 350 °F and heat.

Dip the haddock pieces into the batter, shaking off the excess and place them in the fryer. Make sure to turn or separate the piece periodically so they don't stick to one another.

Cook for 5 mins.

Remove from fryer and serve.
