Spaghetti & Meatballs 5.19.09

Spaghetti and Meatballs

Frozen Meatballs (enough for 4-6 servings)
Water
1 jar (24-32 oz) spaghetti sauce (tonight I used Barilla Roasted Garlic)
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes (I used oregano & basil flavored)
1 handful of grated Parmesan cheese
1-2 tsp minced garlic
1/2-1 tsp dried oregano
1/2-1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp fennel seed
1/2-1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Pinch sugar

Cover the meatballs with water in a large pot and bring to a boil and cook about 10 minutes. Drain. Combine the remaining ingredients in the pot until well blended. Add the meatballs and simmer for at least 1/2 hour. Serve over hot, cooked spaghetti.

This is my basic spaghetti sauce recipe and it's (imho) REALLY good! Since it tastes even better reheated, I often make a double batch and freeze half for another meal.
