How To make Spaghetti with Greek Meatballs and Tomato Feta Sauce
For the meat 1 slice of homemade-type white bread,
torn into pieces
1/4 cup milk
1 pound ground lamb
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/3 cup minced fresh mint leaves
3 tablespoons minced scallion
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt, :
or to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, -- or to taste
For the sauce: 1 cup finely chopped onion
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 28-ounce cans Italian plum tomatoes, drained in a colander
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons finely grated carrot
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh mint leaves
6 ounces Feta, cut into 1/4-inch dice -- (about 1 cup)
1 pound dried spaghetti
Make the meatballs:
In a bowl let the bread soak in the milk for 3 minutes. Add the lamb, garlic, mint, scallion, cinnamon, salt, and pepper, and combine the mixture well. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls, in a large kettle brown the meatballs over moderate heat for 5 minutes, or until they are just firm to the touch, and transfer them with a slotted spoon to a plate.
Make the sauce:
In the kettle cook the onion in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally and scraping up the brown bits, until it is softened. Add the tomatoes, chopping them with a spoon, and stir in the wine, carrot, garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Bring the liquid to a boil and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Add the meatballs and any juices that have accumulated on the plate and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes. Stir in the mint and the Feta and keep the sauce hot over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally.
In a kettle of boiling salted water cook the spaghetti for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it is al dente, and drain it well. Transfer the spaghetti to a heated platter and spoon the sauce over it.

Soutzoukakia - Greek Meatballs in Tomato Sauce
Greek meatballs in tomato sauce, or Soutzoukakia as we call them in Greek, have a long oval shape compared to usual round meatballs. The key ingredients are cumin, garlic and bread soaked in wine first. They are very soft, full of flavour and come with a thick and tasty tomato sauce.
Try the Greek Meatballs with some rice or mashed potatoes and you will have everyone asking for the recipe! These are also freezable after cooking and will last for a couple of months in the freezer. Just defrost the meatballs and warm them up in a pot or microwave for a few minutes before serving.
