      Title: Speedy Gonzales Spaghetti
 Categories: Beef, Vegetbles, Pasta, Cheese, Chilies
      Yield: 8 servings

      4 tb A-P flour
  1 1/2 lb Lean ground beef
      1 md Onion; fine chopped
      3 cl Garlic; minced
      1 lg Egg; scrambled by fork in a
           - dish
     45 oz Tomato sauce (3 cans)
  5 1/2 c  Water
           Salt & pepper
      5 tb Chilli spice mix
      2 lb Spaghetti or linguine
      1 lb Sharp Cheddar cheese;
           - shredded

  Put flour in a small dish and set aside. Place ground
  beef in a large bowl and add chopped onion, garlic, and egg. Knead
  ingredients into meat with your hands, taking care to mix them well
  throughout the ground beef. Set aside.

  In a large pot, add tomato sauce, water, salt, pepper, and 2 tb of
  chilli spice. Heat and bring to a low simmer.

  With your hands, form medium-size meatballs with the ground beef.
  Drop into dish of flour and turn meatballs to coat lightly with the
  flour. Gently drop meatballs, one at a time, into the simmering
  sauce. Stir in the remaining 2 tb of chilli spice.

  Continue to simmer sauce and meatballs uncovered for 25 tou
  30 minutes. Sauce should be bubbling gently while meatballs cook.
  If preferred, more chilli spice may be added to taste.

  Meanwhile, cook pasta according to instructions on package. Drain
  and return to large pot. When spaghetti is cooked, use a pasta
  spoon to immediately place 1 to 2 cups of hot noodles into deep
  bowls. Drop 3 to 4 meatballs into bowls on top of spaghetti pasta.

  Place at least 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar on top of meatballs and
  pasta in each bowl. Ladle about 3/4 to 1 cup of sauce over the
  cheese, meatballs, and pasta. Cheese will melt from the sauce's
  heat. If desired, add another big pinch of cheddar to the top of
  each dish and serve immediately with hot, crusty garlic bread.

  To store leftovers, combine pasta, sauce, and meatballs together in
  one container. Store shredded cheese separately. Re-heat the
  spaghetti, meatballs and sauce in a pot, and sprinkle lots of
  shredded cheese over each hot serving.
