Spaghetti and Meatballs

With a lifetime stash of ground grass-fed meat in my freezer, tonight's request for a spaghetti and meatball dinner is only 30 minutes away:
1) 15 minutes to defrost package of cryo-vac'd meat in a bowl of hot water.
2) Bring pot of salted water to a boil for pasta.
3) Decant meat into a large bowl and add 1 beaten egg, 1/4 cup each grated Parmesan and breadcrumbs, lots of salt and pepper, dried oregano, and a crushed garlic clove. 4) Brown in a little olive oil until golden on each side, then add a jar of tomato sauce (Lidia's is our favorite)--and stand back it will splatter!--cover and braise meatballs until cooked through, about 7 minutes.
5) Boil pasta while you wait.
6) Have been know to toss in broccoli florets with the boiling pasta for 4 minutes and then removing with a slotted spoon to add some green element to the meal.

SNEAKY FLAVOR TIP: Stirred in leftover roasted spaghetti squash into meatball mixture. Could have been any squash. Chopped cooked spinach would have been good too.
