Ingredients:

Serving

cooking spray
1 cup finely chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
1/4 tsp salt
1 (14-oz) can less-sodium beef broth
2 (28-oz) cans whole peeled tomatoes, undrained and chopped
1 (1-oz) slice white bread
2 (4-oz) links sweet turkey italian sausage, casings removed
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tbsp egg substitute
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large egg
1 lb ground sirloin
remaining ingredients
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
1 lb hot cooked spaghetti
1/2 cup (2 oz) grated fresh parmigiano-reggiano
fresh parsley sprigs (optional)

Directions:

To prepare sauce, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add 1 cup onion; sauté for 3 minutes. Add 3 garlic cloves, and sauté 1 minute. Add tomato paste; cook 1 minute. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and broth. Cook 4 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes. Reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Preheat broiler.
To prepare meatballs, place bread in a food processor, and process until fine crumbs measure 1/2 cup. Combine the breadcrumbs, sausage, 1/2 cup onion, and next 8 ingredients (through sirloin) in a bowl. With wet hands, shape sirloin mixture into 32 meatballs. Place meatballs on a broiler pan. Broil 15 minutes or until done. Add meatballs to sauce; simmer 15 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup parsley and 1/3 cup basil. Serve over spaghetti. Sprinkle with cheese; garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired.
Wine note: Spaghetti and Meatballs is terrific with red or white wine as long as the wine has good acidity to mirror that of the tomatoes and act as a counterpoint to the meatballs. Because our recipe has fresh herbs, I prefer white wine with the dish-in particular, an herbal dry white from southern Italy such as Feudi di San Gregorio Greco di Tufo 2004 ($22). -Karen MacNeil
