Homemade Spaghetti & Meatballs



Ingredients:
 - 1/2 lb lean ground beef
 - 1/2 lb extra lean ground turkey
 - 1/2 tsp sea salt
 - 1 small onion, diced
 - 1 1/2 tsp garlic
 - 1 1/2 tsp italian seasoning
 - 3/4 tsp dried oregano
 - 3/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
 - 1 dash hot pepper sauce
 - 1/3 cup milk
 - 1 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
 - 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
 - 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
 - 3 tbsp pesto
 - spaghetti noodles(I use whole wheat)
 - large can of spaghetti sauce
 - 1 small can of tomato sauce

Directions:
1. Combine all of the ingredients together in a bowl. Mix until evenly blended, then form into 1 1/2-inch meatballs.
2. Begin bowling some water for the pasta. Cook the pasta as the box instructs.
3. Pour just enough olive oil or vegetable oil in a pan to cover the bottom. Heat the oil and place the meatballs in the pan to beging browning.
4. While the meatballs are browning on one side, dump a jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce into a pan on low heat. I like add extra italian seasoning and garlic. Make sure to put a lid over the sauce as it may splatter a little.
5. Turn the meatballs over to make sure the other side browns. Once most of the meatballs have browned place them into the sauce along with a small can of tomato sauce.
6. Let the meatballs continue cooking for another 15minutes. ENJOY!
