SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS IN CREAMY VODKA SAUCE RECIPE - (4/5)

• MEATBALLS: Chop up the onion in a food processor to get it as finely chopped as possible. Put into a bowl big enough to hold all the ingredients. Add the ground beef, eggs, onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, oregano, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and soy sauce. With your hands, mix all the ingredients together. When thoroughly mixed, shaped into meat balls about the size of golf balls. Roll them in flour and place on a piece of wax paper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until they are brown on all sides. VODKA SAUCE: Heat olive oil in a skillet (I do this step before browning the meatballs and use the same pan). Sauté the garlic, onion, and parsley until the onion becomes translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes. When done combine into a pot large enough to hold the vodka sauce and meatballs. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, vodka, salt, pepper, red pepper, and basil. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the smell of alcohol goes away. You can tell by smelling the steam. Add the heavy cream and and stir well. Finally, add the meatballs cover and simmer for about 10 minutes. SPAGHETTI: While you are simmering the sauce and meatballs, cook the spaghetti, drain, and serve.
