Spaghetti and Meatball Soup
Report
Spaghetti and Meatball Soup is a meal the whole family can get behind. I have to confess I love this comforting soup even more than its namesake.

Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs sweet Italian meatballs readymade, uncooked, or homemade
- 3-4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 32 ounces tomato sauce or marinara sauce or spaghetti sauce, use your favorite
- 1/4 cup red wine optional
- 8 ounces spaghetti thin
- Parmesan Cheese
- salt fresh cracked
- black pepper fresh cracked
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, over medium-high brown the meatballs on all sides. This takes about 5-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Turn the heat down, add the garlic, Italian seasoning, and the tomato sauce. Rinse out the bottle of sauce with the wine and add to the pan, if using. Bring up to a simmer, then cover the pot and gently simmer the meatballs until they are cooked through (they should reach 160F inside.)
- Meanwhile, break the pasta in half, and cook in well salted water until just barely al dente. Reserve 2 cups of pasta cooking water, and drain the pasta.
- Add the pasta to the tomato sauce, along with about a cup of the reserved pasta water. Stir well, and add a little more pasta water if you'd like the consistency to be thinner. Taste to adjust any of the seasonings.
- Serve hot with plenty of Parmesan cheese and a good grinding of black pepper.
Notes
- Always taste your food to adjust the seasonings if necessary. If you taste the tomato sauce and feel it needs a little something, try a small amount of sugar (1/2 teaspoon) and a touch of red wine vinegar.
- If you're cooking for kids they might love mini meatballs and shredded mozzarella instead of Parmesan.
