How To Make Spagetti With Meatballs

1. Get the meatballs ready: In a bowl, combine the ground beef, pork, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan, garlic, salt, and pepper.
2. Shape and form: To ensure consistent cooking, roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
3. Sauté the meatballs: In a skillet, heat the olive oil. Give the meatballs five minutes or so to brown on all sides.
4. Simmer in sauce: Cover meatballs with marinara sauce. Simmer for 20 minutes with a lid on, or until cooked through.
5. Prepare the spaghetti: Drain and stir with olive oil after boiling pasta in salted water until al dente.
6. Put the dish together: Spoon pasta onto a plate, then top with meatball sauce. Add more Parmesan as a garnish.
7. After cooling, serve: Before serving, let cool for five minutes and savor the robust flavors!

Spagetti With Meatballs Recipe Tips:

• Italian Spaghetti with Meatballs and Herbs. Add chopped fresh oregano, parsley, and basil to the meatball mixture to improve the recipe. For a mild kick, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Heat the meatballs in a thick marinara sauce with rosemary and garlic. For a more delicate texture, use fresh pasta. Lastly, add a liberal amount of grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves as garnish.
• Cheesy Spaghetti with Stuffed Meatballs. Stuff a tiny cube of mozzarella cheese into each meatball to transform them. The cheese surprises with each bite as it melts into a gooey center when cooked. In order to balance the creamy filling, use a thick tomato-basil sauce. Sprinkle crushed chili flakes over the spaghetti after tossing it with a little olive oil. Garnish with more Parmesan and serve right now.
• Meatballs made from plants and vegan spaghetti. Make a plant-based variation by basing your meatballs with lentils, breadcrumbs, and finely chopped mushrooms. Use water and flaxseed to bind the mixture rather than eggs. Toss the spaghetti with vegan butter and use a marinara sauce that is dairy-free. For added taste, garnish with vegan Parmesan or nutritional yeast.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

1. In The Fridge: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Separate pasta and sauce for better freshness.
2. In The Freezer: Freeze cooled meatballs and sauce in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Store spaghetti separately.
3. To Reheat: Reheat meatballs and sauce on the stove over medium heat until hot. Warm spaghetti separately for best results.
