Time 32m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb meatloaf mix
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 large egg, lightly beaten
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 cups water
8 ounces spaghetti, broken in half
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1 teaspoon pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • 1. Combine meat, bread crumbs, egg, and half of garlic in bowl and knead gently until combined. Form mixture into 4 dozen 1-inch meatballs. Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook meatballs until well browned all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer meatballs to plate.
  • 2. Add remaining garlic to skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, water, and pasta and bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring often, until pasta begins to soften, about 7 minutes. Return meatballs to pan and simmer, covered, until meatballs are cooked through and pasta is al dente, about 5 minutes longer. Off heat, stir in basil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
