Spaghetti w meatballs

It was a sunny Tuesday. I woke up especially on time because I was going for my undang computer exam. After that I went home straight, dinner time was near. Without hesitation I took over the kitchen all to myself. I wanted to cook something chinese for dinner, but no, I did the simpliest western dish, which is the spaghetti bolognese. That was nothing new for me, so I decided to try out making some beef meatballs. Learning this can save so much of my time and money because I don't always have to crave for Ikea meatballs, which are getting from bad to worse in terms of price and taste, lately.

Just a few of the ingredients used. 

You can use angel hair, but I preferred the ordinary pasta. 

That was the spaghetti. Now for the meatballs, its really simple, its basically mixing and rolling them into balls and getting real dirty! I’ll go thru briefly, for meatballs:

In a bowl, mix:
-marinated minced beef (w salt and pepper etc)
-finely chopped shallots
-torn bread piceces soaked in milk for 5mins

Mix thoroughly w hands, roll them into balls of any size to your liking. Refrigerate for 10mins before frying.

Fresh minced beef, I used 400gm for meatballs

Quick chop thru the shallots. 

Turned out to be nearly 30+ meatballs of this size.

Pan fry till meat is cooked.

So that's for the meatballs. For the sauce, its too simple I don't think its necessary to share it here. Anyway I'll do a brief one. I used:

-minced beef, marinated
-canned tomatoes, paste like

-roughly chopped white onions

-additional of sliced tomatoes 

-season w oregano

-salt & pepper (the usual stuff lah) 

Sexy fresh white onions

Peeled, chopped white onions. 

Done! Can't really see the meatballs here.

Looks dry because I haven't finish topping w sauce yet. 

Mmmmmm, looks good anot? :P Anyway I loved it, especially the meatballs. One meatball can be divided into 3 bites, while Ikea's meatball is just ONE BITE NO MORE! Hahaha, this is totally more value for money. The shallots in them tasted really good and appetizing! So far I realised my mistake was at the sauce part, I should have simmered longer to enhance the taste. Yay, bye bye! :)
