Spaghetti and Meatballs: A Classic made better by UFCW members

Toronto – March 14, 2025 – There’s nothing that brings families and friends together like a hearty meal, and a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs is the perfect example. Elevate your recipe with quality, locally sourced ingredients, many of which are made by UFCW Canada members who take pride in their work, producing the finest food products right here in Canada.

To begin, the foundation of your spaghetti and meatballs is the pasta. Choose Primo Pasta or Unico Pasta, both made with care by UFCW members, ensuring each strand of pasta is perfectly al dente. The quality of these pastas is second to none, providing a satisfying texture that holds up beautifully to a rich tomato sauce.

For the meatballs, you want a hearty, flavorful base. Why not go with J&L Beef or Atlantic Beef Products, or try Britco Pork for a touch of pork in your meatball mix? These products, crafted by UFCW members, are packed with flavour and provide the perfect balance of tenderness and taste in every bite. Combine them with fresh ingredients like Villaggio Bread Products (for breadcrumbs) and the deliciously sharp Allegro Cheese to create a meatball that’s juicy, flavourful, and perfect for your pasta.

Now, let’s talk about the sauce. The Primo Tomato Sauces, Unico Tomato Sauces and Antico Organic Pasta Sauces are fantastic choices to create a rich, savory sauce that has just the right balance of acidity and sweetness. All three products are carefully made by skilled UFCW members and are a staple in Canadian kitchens.

For a complete dish, don’t forget to top off your spaghetti and meatballs with some freshly grated Natrel Cheeses or Boursin Gournay Cheese. The creamy texture of the cheese perfectly complements the robust flavors of the meatballs and sauce, making each bite even more satisfying.
