Cooking Instructions

Mix 1lb ground beef with Salt, Pepper, Chopped Garlic, Breadcrumbs, Parmesan Cheese, 1 egg and Chopped Onions
Note: make the meatballs “smaller” rather than “larger” so they are more thoroughly cooked in the fry pan

Pan Fry Meatballs for ~12 minutes

For the temp on the fry pan, I'm looking for the "sweet" spot that is more than a "simmer", but not so hot that ground beef begins to char and burn. On my stove that's "Medium-High" setting.

Note: roll meatballs to a “pink” side about every ~4 minutes

Add tomato sauce to a medium size pot
Add bay leaves to the tomato sauce

After meatballs are cooked for ~12 minutes add meatballs to the tomato sauce

Cover pot and simmer ~30 mins

Note: Make the pasta after meatballs start to simmer in the tomato sauce. No need to make the pasta sooner as the meatballs should simmer in the tomato sauce for ~30mins

Fill about ¾ of a large pot with water
Shake in some salt
Drizzle some cooking oil into the water (not olive oil)
Heat and wait for water to start boiling

Add ¾ Box of pasta to the large pot of boiling water
Boil the pasta for about 9-10 minutes

Prep & Cook Time: ~50 minutes
