Spaghetti with Meatballs!

Sauce:
1 T. olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 T. tomato paste
28 oz. fire roasted tomatoes, diced
1 t. oregano
1 t. rosemary
1 t. black pepper
1 t. basil

Meatballs:
Cooking spray
1 lb. ground turkey
1/4 c. bread crumbs
1/4 c. grated pecorino romano
1 grated carrot
1/2 c. chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 t. parsley
1 t. thyme
1 t. black pepper
1 egg

Spaghetti:
16 oz. spaghetti

Make sauce by sauteing onion in olive oil in a large saucepan.  Add garlic and cook for a minute more.  Add the tomato paste, tomatoes, and seasonings.  Simmer for 15 minutes.  Meanwhile, preheat the broiler and combine ingredients for the meatballs in a large bowl.  Form into 2 inch balls and place on a sprayed baking sheet.  Broil until browned, about 10 minutes.  Add cooked meatballs to the sauce and cook 10 minutes more.  While the meatballs are cooking, boil the spaghetti in a large pot of water until al dente. Spoon meatballs and sauce on top of cooked spaghetti.  Garnish with pecorino romano and parsley.
