Provided by Matthew Johnson

Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

¼ cup olive oil
2 large yellow onions, chopped
10 cloves garlic, minced
kosher salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
12 oz tomato paste
55 oz crushed tomato, 2 cans
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 cup bread crumbs
½ cup ricotta cheese
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 large eggs, beaten
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
¼ cup milk
kosher salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 lb dried spathetti
fresh basil, chopped
grated parmesan cheese, fresh

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet and grease with nonstick spray.
  • Make the marinara sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and season with salt, pepper, and the red pepper flakes. Cook until soft and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
  • Set aside ⅓ cup (50 G) of the cooked onions and garlic for the meatballs and let cool.
  • Stir the tomato paste into the onions and cook until browned and aromatic, 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, and dried parsley. Stir together and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 30 minutes.
  • Make the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, reserved onion and garlic mixture, bread crumbs, ricotta, parsley, eggs, Parmesan, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until well combined.
  • Shape about 2 ounces (55 G) of meat at a time into balls and set on the prepared wire rack.
  • Bake the meatballs for 20 minutes, until the outsides are browned and the centers are tender and juicy and reach about 155˚F (68˚C).
  • Bring a large pot of water to boil and add a generous pinch of salt. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, 7-10 minutes, until al dente. Stir occasionally to keep the noodles from sticking together.
  • Drain the pasta and add it directly to the simmering marinara sauce. Reserve some pasta water, in case you need it to loosen the sauce. Stir the pasta into the sauce until fully coated.
  • Add the pasta to serving bowls, top with the meatballs, and garnish with Parmesan, fresh basil, and cracked pepper.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of meats for your meatballs. Ground beef, pork, and veal are all popular choices, but you can also use lamb, venison, or turkey. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite flavor profile.
  • Don't overmix your meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Mix just enough to combine the ingredients.
  • Use a large skillet to cook your meatballs. This will help to prevent them from overcrowding and sticking together.
  • Brown your meatballs before adding them to the sauce. This will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Simmer your meatballs in the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize them and allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve your meatballs over spaghetti, rice, or mashed potatoes. You can also use them in sandwiches, wraps, or salads.
