Spaghetti and Meatballs

American cooks usually use a can of tomato paste as a quick sauce thickner, but I believe that using canned tomatoes put through a tomato milling machine, and cooking them uncovered, stirring often, accomplishes the same purpose and produces a tastier, lighter sauce.

In a large bowl place chuck, cheese, salt, pepper, bread crumbs, raisins, parsley, and eggs, blending everything well. Form meatballs the size of golf balls; sautee them in the butter and oil in a large, deep saucepan or pot, turning so they are completely browned. Pour in the tomatoes and simmer, uncovered, stirring often, for 1 hour, or until sauce is smooth and thickened. Cook spaghetti al dente; drain. It is the American custom to pour all the sauce over the pasta and toss so that it is heavily coated. The pasta is served on a large warm platter ringed with meatballs.
