Spicy Pasta and Meatballs


Meatballs:
1 lb beef
1 small onion grated
1 clove garlic
1/2 t italian seasoning
1/2 c bread crumbs or oatmeal
1 t chopped peperocini
pepper
salt
1/4 t dried oregano
1/8 t spicy paprika

Roll into 25 meatballs and bake at 350 in an 8x8" dish for 25-30 minutes.

Pasta:
1 onion, diced
1 jalapeno, diced
olive oil
1/2 lb whole wheat angel hair pasta
3 medium tomatoes
1 T basil
1 clove garlic chopped
3 c water* and chicken bouillon or broth

Saute onions and jalapeno in olive oil until onion is translucent. Add garlic. Break angel hair pasta into pieces and toss into pot. Saute, while mixing, until the pasta is golden, 3-4 minutes. Add chopped peeled tomatoes and cook 3 minutes. Add water and bouillon or broth, bring to boil, lower heat and simmer until pasta is soft. Add extra broth or water if needed.

Add meat balls and basil and serve.

*I drain the fat from the meatballs and add the remaining juice with the water.
