Spaghetti w/ Chicken Meatballs; garlic bread; salad

Spaghetti with Chicken Meatballs

1 lb. ground chicken
1/2 onion, finely chopped
2 hot peppers, finely chopped (or 1/2 green)
Handful of fresh basil, chopped
1 egg
about 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
salt and pepper
---
one jar prepared spaghetti sauce of your choice
---
1 lb. cooked pasta of your choice

Mix all ingredients. Shape into small balls, or use a small ice cream scoop to make balls, and drop into already-hot spaghetti sauce (I used Newman's Cabernet Marinara) and cook at least half an hour. Serve over cooked pasta.

Garlic Bread

one Breadsmith baguette
1/2 stick butter, softened
1/4 cup olive oil
3-6 cloves garlic, crushed
Few sprigs of fresh parsley, chopped
Garlic Salt

Cut baguette into 4 pieces, and then slice each open down the middle. Combine butter, olive oil, garlic and chopped parsley. Spread onto cut side of baguette, then sprinkle with a bit of garlic salt. Heat in an oven or broiler until warm and slightly brown on edges

Salad

Lettuce, garden tomato, seedless cucumber and one green onion, topped with balsamic vinagrette.
