Spaghetti with meatballs is a classic American dish. As classic as the Lady and the Tramp scene. We've taken the dish to a different flavor zone thanks to some well-placed herbs and spices. So add some breadcrumbs, oregano, mustard, ketchup, and nutmeg to the minced meat and simply taste the difference. Then make the sauce with onion, tomato sauce, tomato juice, white wine, garlic, and basil. Then enjoy!
