Wolfgang Puck Spaghetti and Meatballs Recipe

Wolfgang Puck's spaghetti and meatballs recipe is a welcome classic with a refined take.
I sooo love the combo of lean ground beef and pork, which makes the meatballs juicy and extra flavorful!
Make sure to simmer the tomato sauce slowly. This enhances the dish by allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
And don't forget to cook those noodles al dente, giving them just the right texture to soak up the sauce.
