SPICY CHICKEN MEATBALLS WITH ARRABBIATA SAUCE



Spicy Chicken Meatballs with Arrabbiata Sauce image

This dish was inspired by R+D Kitchen and Milo + Olive, two of my favorite local spots in Santa Monica. Their chicken meatballs in tomato sauce are light but with a bit of heat and served without a strand of spaghetti in sight. Instead, they are ladled over arugula. For my version, I pair my spicy chicken meatballs with an equally spicy tomato sauce: Arrabbiata, which means "angry" in Italian. With fresh basil, bitter arugula, pungent red onion and a little Parm, this dish is perfect by itself, but if you want to push it into hearty territory, serve it over some spaghetti. Pile any leftovers onto an Italian roll for an epic sandwich the next day. Enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings as a main course or 4 to 6 as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 27

1/2 cup fine breadcrumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ground dark meat chicken
1/3 cup milk
1 large egg
Olive oil, for cooking
2 cups Arrabbiata Sauce (recipe follows), heated
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
1 bunch arugula (about 6 ounces)
1/4 cup thinly sliced basil leaves
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup thinly sliced basil leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the meatballs: Mix together the breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, oregano, tomato paste, cayenne, paprika, parsley, Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl; add the chicken, milk and egg. Gently blend together with your fingertips, then form into 2-inch balls. Don't compact the meatballs too much or they'll be dense and dry.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a few tablespoons of olive oil to coat. Add the meatballs and cook until a deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each of their 4 sides. It's OK if they're not fully cooked through, as they'll finish cooking in the sauce. (If you're not cooking them in the sauce, then cook the meatballs over medium heat until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.)
  • For serving: Pour the hot Arrabbiata into the skillet with the meatballs. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and cook until the meatballs are fully cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Top with the red onions and Parmesan, then ladle over a handful of arugula in each serving bowl. Garnish with the basil and enjoy!
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the alcohol has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the basil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
  • Blend the sauce with an immersion blender (or in 2 batches in a blender) until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Makes about 4 cups. Refrigerate any leftover sauce in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.

TURKEY AND ARTICHOKE STUFFED SHELLS WITH ARRABBIATA SAUCE image

Categories     Pasta

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (12-ounce) box jumbo pasta shells (recommended: Barilla)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 large yellow onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pound ground turkey
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus 1/2 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus 1/4 teaspoon
1 (8 to 10-ounce) package frozen artichokes, thawed and coarsely chopped
1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese
3/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
5 cups Arrabbiata Sauce, recipe above
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella (about 5 ounces)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and partially cook until tender but still very firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain pasta. Meanwhile, in a large heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and the garlic and cook until the onions are soft and starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the ground turkey, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is slightly golden and cooked through. Add the artichoke hearts and stir to combine. Remove from heat and let cool. In a large bowl combine the cooled turkey mixture with the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, basil, parsley, and the remaining salt and pepper. Stir to combine. To stuff the shells, cover the bottom of a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking dish with 1 cup of Arrabbiata sauce. Take a shell in the palm of your hand and stuff it with a large spoonful of turkey mixture, about 2 tablespoons. Place the stuffed shell in the baking dish. Continue filling the shells until the baking dish is full, about 24 shells. Drizzle the remaining Arrabbiata Sauce over the shells, top with the grated mozzarella. If freezing, cover tightly with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 1 day and up to 1 month. To bake, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake until the shells are warmed through and the cheese is beginning to brown, about 60 minutes (20 minutes if shells are unfrozen.)

Yield 8-10 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 ounces (1 box) jumbo pasta shells (approximately 36 shells)
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for greasing baking sheet
6 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, diced
2 teaspoons dried crushed red pepper flakes
2 garlic cloves, minced
5 cups marinara sauce
2 (15-ounce) containers whole milk ricotta cheese
1 1/3 cups grated Parmesan
4 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
3 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Lightly oil a 12 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish and set aside. Lightly oil the baking sheet and set aside. Partially cook the pasta shells in a large pot of boiling salted water until slightly tender but still quite firm to the bite, about 4 to 6 minutes. You will continue cooking the shells in the oven after they have been stuffed. Using a slotted spoon, drain pasta shells and place on oiled baking sheet, spreading them out so that they don't stick together and allow to cool. Heat the oil in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and saute until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes. Add the garlic and saute until tender, about 1 minute. Add the marinara sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring often. In a medium bowl, stir the ricotta, Parmesan, egg yolks, basil, parsley, mint, salt, and pepper. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spoon 1 1/4 cups of the sauce over the prepared baking dish. Fill the cooked shells with the cheese mixture, about 2 tablespoons per shell. Arrange the shells in the prepared dish. Spoon the remaining sauce over the shells, then sprinkle with the mozzarella. Bake in the lower third of your oven until the filling is heated through and the top is golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many tomatoes to the pan at once, they will not cook evenly. Cook the tomatoes in batches if necessary.
  • Let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen.
  • Add a little bit of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little bit of heat.
