Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
5 cups canned crushed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
coarse salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 large egg
1/3 cup milk
1 white onion, finely chopped
2/3 cup fresh breadcrumb
1/2 cup freshly grated asiago cheese or 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, plus more
freshly grated asiago cheese or parmesan cheese, for serving
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 lb ground turkey
1 lb spaghetti

Steps:

  • Make the Sauce: In a large nonstick skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, and cook, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, oregano, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook, covered, for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Make the meatballs: In a large bowl, whisk together egg, milk, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper with a fork. Stir in onion, breadcrumbs, cheese, and parsley. Add turkey, mixing until combined. Form into 1 1/2-inch balls.
  • Add meatballs to skillet and spoon the sauce over to coat. Cover and cook over medium heat until meatballs are just cooked through, about 8 minutes.
  • While meatballs are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti, and cook for about 12 minutes. Drain pasta and add tablespoon oil, stir.
  • Add spaghetti to skillet, and toss to coat evenly. Serve with additional cheese, if desired.
