Instructions

To Boil Pasta

Heat up water with salt in a medium-sized pot and wait for it to boil.
Drop your spaghetti into your boiling water. Cook spaghetti as per package instructions.
Once the pasta is cooked, strain and keep aside to plate afterward.

To prepare the Meatball Sauce

In the meanwhile, heat up a skillet with the oil and place the meatballs into your skillet.
Sear meatballs on all sides until golden brown.
When the meatballs appear cooked, stir in the crushed tomatoes with the seasoning, the onion powder, the garlic powder, the oregano, salt and black pepper.
Mix it all well and briefly cook for 2–3 minutes over a medium to low-heat setting. Don't overcook or else your sauce will reduce too much. Take from the heat once done.

To serve

Plate up the still hot spaghetti and pour some tomato sauce with meatballs over the spaghetti. Enjoy!

Notes

Use about 3.5-4 ounces, or 100 to 114 grams, of black spaghetti per serving. That means for 2 people, about 7–8 ounces or about 200 to 250 grams.
Tip: Don't drop frozen meatballs into the hot oil because it will splash. Thaw your meatballs first.
