Betty's Spaghetti and Meatballs

All the credit for this one goes to my mom's best friend, Betty Walker. She passed this recipe onto my family and it's the only way we eat spaghetti now.

Meatballs:
1 lb. lean hamburger or turkey burger
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 slices bread
2 heaping tablespoons dried parsley
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper

Soak bread in milk. Mix meat, eggs, parsley, cheese, salt and pepper. Drain any excess milk from bread and add to meat mixture. Roll into balls about he size of walnuts. Drop into boiling sauce. Simmer for one hour. Extra meatballs can be frozen raw and used later.

Sauce:
1 large can whole tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste
3 tablespoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon oregano
salt and pepper

Blend tomatoes, add remaining ingredients and simmer for one hour.
