Steps:
- Place the ground meats, both bread crumbs, parsley, Parmesan, salt, pepper, nutmeg, egg, and 3/4 cup warm water in a bowl. Combine very lightly with a fork. Using your hands, lightly form the mixture into 2-inch meatballs. You will have 14 to 16 meatballs.
- Pour equal amounts of vegetable oil and olive oil into a large (12-inch) skillet to a depth of 1/4-inch. Heat the oil. Very carefully, in batches, place the meatballs in the oil and brown them well on all sides over medium-low heat, turning carefully with a spatula or a fork. This should take about 10 minutes for each batch. Don't crowd the meatballs. Remove the meatballs to a plate covered with paper towels. Discard the oil but don't clean the pan.
- For the sauce, heat the olive oil in the same pan. Add the onion and saute over medium heat until translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the wine and cook on high heat, scraping up all the brown bits in the pan, until almost all the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Return the meatballs to the sauce, cover, and simmer on the lowest heat for 25 to 30 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through. Serve hot on cooked spaghetti and pass the grated Parmesan.

HEALTHIER ITALIAN SPAGHETTI SAUCE WITH MEATBALLS
We added carrot and fresh garlic to this spaghetti sauce, and even made the meatballs healthier by using whole wheat breadcrumbs and fresh parsley. We suggest serving over the whole grain pasta of your choice.

Steps:
- Cook the onion in hot oil until it is tender but not brown.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, sugar, salt, pepper, oregano and bay leaves.
- Simmer for 30 minutes. As the sauce simmers keep an eye on it, if it looks too thick add some water up to one cup.
- While the sauce is simmering mix together the meatballs.
- To dry the bread I preheat my oven to it's lowest setting (170 degrees) and when it gets to temp I turn it off and place the bread slices in and let the low heat dry them.
- Remove from the oven and place in a mixing bowl.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a cookie sheet with sides with foil.
- Soak the dried bread in water 2-3 mintues, then squeeze out the moisture.
- (Doing this does something to the gluten in the bread that gives the meatballs a wonderful taste and texture).
- Combine the bread with the rest of the ingredients, mixing well with your hands.
- Form into small balls (approx 20).
- Bake for 15 minutes or until they are cooked through.
- Remove from the pan and add to the simmering sauce.
- Cook for 30 minutes longer.
- Serve over hot spaghetti noodles.

Meet the Cook: Always a favorite with my children, grandchildren and friends, these delectable meatballs take little time to prepare because they don't need to be browned before being added to the sauce. I've found that the meatballs taste best if they are mixed just until all the ingredients are blended. -Ann Rath, Mankato, Minnesota
