Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Step 2
Get water boiling.
Step 3
Tomato sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large heavy pot over medium high heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, and bell pepper and sauté 10 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the herbs and fennel seeds.
Step 5
Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, wine, sugar, salt, and pepper.
Step 6
Rinse out cans with water.
Step 7
Bring to a simmer, cover, and continue to simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
Add pasta water to the sauce the last 10 minutes.
Step 9
While the sauce is simmering, prepare the meatballs.
Step 10
Combine the beef, pork, and prosciutto in a large mixing bowl.
Step 11
With your hand, mix in all the remaining ingredients through to the eggs.
Step 12
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 13
Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Step 14
To form each meatball: take a generous scoop of the meat mixture, flatten it into a patty, place a cube of mozzarella in the meatballs and form into balls.
Step 15
The meatballs should be 1/2 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 16
The mixture should make around 24 meatballs.
Step 17
Brush each meatball lightly all over with the olive oil.
Step 18
Bake until cooked through and lightly browned, about 40 minutes.
Step 19
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meatballs to the tomato sauce.
Step 20
Simmer uncovered 30 minutes longer.
Step 21
15 minutes before serving, cook the spaghetti in a large pot of heavily salted boiling water until al dente.
Step 22
Drain, saving 1/2 cup pasta water, and transfer to a pasta bowl.
Step 23
Top with the sauce and meatballs.
