SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS RECIPE BY TASTY



Spaghetti And Meatballs Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: olive oil, large yellow onions, garlic, kosher salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, tomato paste, crushed tomato, dried basil, dried oregano, dried parsley, ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, ricotta cheese, fresh parsley, large eggs, grated parmesan cheese, milk, kosher salt, black pepper, dried spathetti, fresh basil, grated parmesan cheese

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!

SAVOURY SPAGHETTI WITH MEATBALLS RECIPE BY TASTY



Savoury Spaghetti With Meatballs Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, McCormick® Savory Spice Blend, tomato paste, canned whole peeled tomato, kosher salt, white bread, heavy cream, grated parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, pepper, ground pork, kosher salt, 85% lean ground beef, McCormick® Savory Spice Blend, olive oil, spaghetti, kosher salt, parmesan cheese, fresh basil

Provided by Tasty

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves garlic, crushed
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon McCormick® Savory Spice Blend
3 tablespoons tomato paste
56 oz canned whole peeled tomato
kosher salt, to taste
2 slices white bread, hearty, crusts removed, torn in 1/2 ( 1 1/4 cm) in pieces
10 tablespoons heavy cream
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons onion, grated
2 tablespoons garlic, grated
pepper, to taste
1 lb ground pork
½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 lb 85% lean ground beef
1 tablespoon McCormick® Savory Spice Blend
olive oil, to taste
1 lb spaghetti, dried
kosher salt, to taste
parmesan cheese, a chunk
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: In a large pot over medium-low heat, combine the olive oil and garlic and cook until the garlic begins to sizzle very gently. Add the red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic just begins to turn light golden in color, about 3 minutes. Add the Savory spice blend and continue to cook, stirring, for 1 minute more.
  • Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until the paste has softened and blended with the oil and garlic mixture, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and their juices and increase the heat to medium-high, bringing the to a gentle simmer. Lower the heat a bit if it's bubbling and spitting too much. Remove the sauce from the heat.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend the sauce until smooth. Tip: Drape a kitchen towel over the pot to act as a cover from sauce splatters. Or, transfer the sauce to a blender and puree, then return to the pot.
  • Decrease the heat to medium-low and bring the sauce to a simmer.
  • Make the meatballs: In a medium bowl, combine the bread cubes, cream, parmesan, onion, garlic, and pepper. Using a fork, mash into thick paste.
  • In a large bowl, gently mix the ground pork with the salt and baking powder. Add the beef and gently stir to combine (you can also use your hands for this). Add the bread mixture, Savory spice blend, and a pinch more salt and pepper and mix until just incorporated. Rub a bit of olive oil on your hands and form the mixture into smooth, round meatballs the size of golf balls--you should have about 25 total..
  • Once the meatballs are formed, gently lower each meatball into the pot of sauce. Bring to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 25-35 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into a meatball reaches 165˚F (75˚C).
  • While the meatballs are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup (240 ml) of pasta cooking water, then drain.
  • In a large bowl, toss the spaghetti with a few large spoonfuls of pasta sauce to coat, along with a few splashes of the reserved cooking water. Divide the pasta among bowls and spoon more sauce and meatballs over the pasta. Top each serving with freshly grated Parmesan and basil.
  • Enjoy!

  • Add the red wine and scrape up all the bits on the bottom of the pan.
  • To complete the sauce, add the tomatoes, parsley, salt and pepper.

TEST KITCHEN'S FAVORITE SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS



Test Kitchen's Favorite Spaghetti and Meatballs image

Swapping out some of the ground beef for chopped mushrooms is the secret behind the complex flavor of these meatballs. A quick blast in the broiler gives them a nice crust -- and the noncrisp parts soak up the delicious sauce.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes     Ground Beef Recipes

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cups finely chopped onion (from 1 large)
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons minced garlic (4 to 5 cloves)
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
2 cans (each 28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes in juice, pureed in a blender or food processor
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 pound cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
1/4 cup whole milk
1/3 cup finely grated Pecorino Romano (1 ounce), plus more for serving
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, plus more for serving
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 pound ground beef (85 percent lean), preferably grass-fed
1 pound spaghetti, spaghettini, or bucatini

Steps:

  • Red Sauce: Heat a straight-sided skillet over medium. Swirl in oil; add onion and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and translucent, 7 to 9 minutes. Stir in garlic and red-pepper flakes; cook 30 seconds. Transfer one-third of onion mixture to a bowl and reserve for meatballs. Add tomatoes to skillet; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and thickened slightly, about 20 minutes.
  • Meatballs: While sauce simmers, heat a large skillet over medium-high. Swirl in oil. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and most of moisture has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to bowl with reserved onion mixture; let cool slightly.
  • Preheat broiler with rack 4 inches below heating element. Stir breadcrumbs and milk into mushroom mixture until milk is absorbed. Add cheese, parsley, oregano, egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add beef and gently fold with your hands until evenly combined (don't overwork, or meatballs will be tough). Use an ice cream scoop, or roll heaping tablespoons between dampened palms, to form thirty 1 1/2-inch balls. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet brushed with oil. Broil, undisturbed, until browned on top, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer meatballs to skillet with red sauce. Simmer, stirring gently, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, boil pasta in a large pot of generously salted water until al dente, about 2 minutes less than per package instructions. Drain pasta and return to pot; toss with 1 1/2 cups sauce. Serve, topped with meatballs, more sauce, cheese, red-pepper flakes, and parsley.

Tips for Making the Best Spaghetti and Meatballs Sundae:

- Opt for high-quality pasta: Authentic Italian spaghetti made with durum wheat offers the perfect texture and flavor for this dish. - Cook spaghetti al dente: This means cooking the pasta until it's slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy when combined with the other ingredients. - Use a flavorful sauce: A rich and flavorful tomato sauce is essential for a delicious spaghetti sundae. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own with fresh tomatoes, garlic, onions, and herbs. - Make the meatballs juicy and tender: Use a combination of ground beef, pork, and veal for the meatballs to create a succulent and flavorful filling.
