Ingredients:

Serving

1 large egg
1/3 cup milk
1 1/2 cups soft bread cubes ( torn
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup grated pecorino romano cheese, plus extra for serving
1 tsp very finely minced garlic
1/4 cup very finely minced parsley
1/4 cup olive oil
6 cups tomato sauce, warmed ( longer-cooked , very garlicky marinara sauce)
1 lb spaghetti
2 tbsp butter

Directions:

In a large bowl, beat the egg; then blend in the milk.
Add in the bread cubes, stirring to coat them well; let sit for 15 minutes.
Using a fork, mash the bread cubes until they’ve formed a rough paste.
Add in the ground beef to the bowl; working with your hands, incorporate the rough paste into the beef.
Add in cheese, garlic, and parsley; blend in evenly; add salt and pepper to taste.
Using wet hands, form the meat into balls the size of golf balls or a little smaller.
Add olive oil to a large heavy skillet over med-high heat; add in the meatballs to brown them on all sides—don’t crowd them in the pan; you may have brown them in batches.
Transfer meatballs to the saucepan that holds the warmed tomato sauce; bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 45 minutes.
When the meatballs are nearly done, drop the spaghetti into a big pot of boiling salted water.
Cook spaghetti until al dente, about 8-9 minutes.
Drain spaghetti in a colander; then return it to the pasta cooking pot over medium heat.
Ladle in enough sauce to just coat the pasta; stir well.
Add in the butter and stir well.
Keep the pasta in the pot for a total of about 1 minute.
Divide the pasta among six wide, shallow bowls; top each mound of pasta with a few meatballs, then ladle some more sauce over all.
Serve with grated Romano cheese on the side.
