MELTING MEATBALL MACARONI



Melting meatball macaroni image

This recipe has all the elements of comfort food: beef and pork meatballs with an oozing cheesy filling, a rich tomato sauce and pasta

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 17

300g pork mince
400g beef mince (with around 10% fat)
½ tsp fennel seeds
½ tsp chilli flakes
2 tsp dried oregano
200g taleggio or mozzarella , chopped into small chunks
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion , finely chopped
4 garlic cloves , crushed
2 tsp tomato purée
50ml red wine
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
500ml passata
3 bay leaves
2 tsp golden caster sugar
400g macaroni or other pasta shape
crusty bread , to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the pork and beef mince with the fennel seeds, chilli, 1 tsp oregano and some seasoning in a large bowl until combined. Divide and shape into 18 meatballs with a nugget or two of taleggio in the middle (save some for the top), then chill for 10 mins.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan (use a flameproof casserole dish if you can - it'll save on washing up). Add the onion and a pinch of salt and sizzle until softened (about 8 mins). Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min more, then add the tomato purée, wine, tomatoes, passata, bay leaves, sugar, the remaining oregano and lots of seasoning, then cover with a lid and simmer for 20 mins. Meanwhile, arrange the meatballs on a baking tray lined with foil, drizzle with the remaining oil and bake for 10 mins.
  • Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water according to packet instructions, then drain, reserving some water. If the pan isn't ovenproof, tip the sauce into a casserole dish. Stir the pasta into the sauce, along with the liquid from the meatballs and some pasta water if it needs thinning. Turn the grill to a medium-high setting.
  • Nestle the meatballs into the pasta, so that they poke out the top. Scatter the remaining taleggio over the top and grill for 5-10 mins until the cheese and meatballs are golden. Serve with crusty bread, if you like.

MEATBALL MACARONI BAKE



Meatball Macaroni Bake image

The meatballs are surprisingly moist and flavorful for using only beef. I normally don't measure the seasonings so you may have to adjust, I also don't measure the breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup is about right but sometimes I adjust. I play around with this recipe and it always comes out good. Use a really good quality, chunky tomato sauce if you are using a jarred one.

Provided by SkinniFries

Categories     Meat

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb extra lean ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 eggs
1/2 cup freshly grated pecorino cheese or 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 large onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, chopped (use less garlic, if you want, I like a lot)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (you may need more)
1 (25 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (or homemade, a really chunky one is best)
2 cups mozzarella cheese or 2 cups monterey jack cheese, grated
1/4-1/2 cup parmesan cheese or 1/4-1/2 cup pecorino cheese, grated
1 lb uncooked large macaroni or 1 lb rigatoni pasta

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350.
  • For the meatballs, mix first 7 ingredients in a large bowl thoroughly with your hands. Form into balls, I usually make rather large ones but the size is up to you, although the bigger ones come out more moist.
  • Boil a large pot of well salted water and add pasta when boiling, cook to just almost al dente, then drain.
  • Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat, add onion and garlic and cook untill soft. Do not stir too much, just give it a shake every couple minutes.
  • Add meatballs to pan and turn up heat to med high and brown on all sides.
  • Add spaghetti sauce to pan to cover meatballs. Add a little pasta water to thin out, if needed. turn heat back to medium or medium-low and simmer untill meatballs are mostly cooked through.
  • Add pasta to a large casserole or baking dish, pour meatballs and sauce over pasta and mix slightly to make sure everything is mixed and coated with sauce. Keeping the meatballs down more on the bottom makes them come out more moist.
  • Spinkle cheeses evenly over the top and bake for about 15 minutes, or untill cheese is melted and meatballs are done.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Al dente pasta is best for this casserole.
  • Make sure the cheese sauce is thick and creamy. A good cheese sauce should coat the pasta evenly and be flavorful.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of different cheeses will give the casserole a more complex flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. You can add other ingredients to the casserole, such as vegetables, meat, or seafood.

Conclusion:

Macaroni and cheese casserole with meatballs is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy cheese sauce, tender pasta, and savory meatballs, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
