SKILLET SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 ounces spaghetti
1 pound ground chuck
1/3 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 large egg, beaten
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 medium onion, diced small
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
6 ounces grated "supermarket" or low-moisture mozzarella
8 to 10 fresh basil leaves, torn

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Cook the spaghetti according to its package instructions, removing from the pasta water 1 minute prior to "al dente". Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, combine the beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, cream, egg, half the garlic and 1 tablespoon oregano in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using your hands or a wooden spatula, mix together until well combined. Portion into 10 meatballs. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs, turning as needed, until browned on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Move the meatballs to the edge of the skillet.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion to the center of the skillet, along with the remaining garlic and oregano. Cook to release the flavor, a minute or two. Add the tomatoes and crushed red pepper, along with 1/2 cup hot water. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then carefully stir the meatballs into the sauce. Simmer, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly and the meatballs to finish cooking, about 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Add the pasta to the skillet and toss with the sauce, making sure to thoroughly coat the noodles in the sauce. Arrange the meatballs on top of the pasta and sprinkle the mozzarella on top, being careful not to completely cover the meatballs and sauce (so it looks pretty after baking) and transfer to the oven. Bake until bubbly and the cheese is completely melted, about 12 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven and top with Parmesan and the fresh basil. Serve straight from the skillet.

SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALL CASSEROLE



Spaghetti and Meatball Casserole image

I was going to make spaghetti pie but I didn't have any ricotta or cottage cheese so I tweeked it and came up with this. My son and BF loved it! The measurements are approximate since I don't really use measuring cups when I cook, I just kinda eye it up. I hope you like it as much as we did!

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces spaghetti
1 egg
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
25 pepperoni slices
20 precooked meatballs
1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce with meat
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain. Add egg and Parmesan cheese to spaghetti and stir to combine (I used my hands and it worked well).
  • Press spaghetti mixture into the bottom of a sprayed 8x8 glass baking dish. Cover spaghetti mixture with a layer of sliced pepperoni. Cover pepperoni with 1/2 c shredded Mozzarella cheese.
  • Cook precooked, frozen meatballs according to package directions (I just microwaved them). Cut them in half. Layer the meatball halves over the cheese mixture (number of meatballs is approximate. We used smaller meatballs so adjust to cover the whole casserole).
  • Combine spaghetti sauce, garlic powder and dehydrated onion flakes in a bowl. Spoon over meatball layer.
  • Sprinkle 1/2 c Mozzarella cheese over the spaghetti sauce mixture. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake approximately another 20 minutes or until bubbly.
  • Again, the measurements for this recipe are approximately. Please adjust to your own tastes. And I didn't have any on hand but I would've like to have added cooked green peppers to the sauce. So get creative! I'm anxious to hear what combinations everyone comes up with!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality spaghetti sauce. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. If using a store-bought sauce, choose one that is thick and flavorful.
  • Cook the meatballs thoroughly. The meatballs should be cooked through before adding them to the casserole. You can cook them in a skillet, in the oven, or in a slow cooker.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. Mozzarella and Parmesan are classic choices, but you can also use cheddar, ricotta, or any other type of cheese that you like.
  • Bake the casserole until the cheese is melted and bubbly. The casserole should be baked for at least 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the casserole to set and make it easier to serve.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti and meatballs casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
