BAKED SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375℉.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta al dente.
• Meanwhile, place breadcrumbs in a large bowl and add milk, giving a quick stir to mix. Add all remaining meatball ingredients and mix using your hands until fully incorporated. Shape into 1 inch balls or slightly larger and set on a plate.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat in a cast-iron skillet. Add all the meatballs and cook for about 1 minute per side until nicely browned on the exterior, about 2-3 total minutes, occasionally rotating/rolling. Remove from skillet and place on a plate.
• Remove skillet from the heat and let it slightly cool. Add 1 cup of marinara and add strained spaghetti. Toss with tongs until evenly mixed with the sauce. Nestle the meatballs in the spaghetti and drizzle with an additional cup of marinara. I like to spoon the sauce over the top of the entire skillet and spread a little to evenly coat.
• Top with a layer of cheese and bake for 20-22 minutes. Cheese should just be turning golden. Can give a quick broil at the end to crisp cheese if desired. Garnish with chopped fresh basil and serve.

Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add meatballs, in batches, and cook until all sides are browned, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well and stir in marinara sauce. Add pasta to the prepared baking dish and top with meatballs; sprinkle with mozzarella. Place into oven and bake until bubbly and heated through, about 15-20 minutes.
