Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/4 cup milk
2 slice white bread, cut into cubes
1 pound 80 percent lean ground beef
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 egg
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 sticks mozzarella string cheese, cut into small cubes or 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
Nonstick cooking spray
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 medium onion diced
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil leaves
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (16-ounce) box spaghetti

Steps:

  • For Meatballs
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl combine the milk and bread. Let the bread absorb the milk. Add remaining meatball ingredients except the cheese. Using your hands, gently combine all the ingredients until they are thoroughly mixed. Take about 3 tablespoons of the meat mixture and roll into a ball and press into a patty. Place a mozzarella cube or 1 tablespoon shredded cheese onto the patty and bring up the sides around the cheese and roll between hands to form a ball. Place onto a nonstick baking sheet or a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Repeat process with remaining meat and cheese. Place the meatballs into the oven and cook for 12 minutes. Remove baking sheet from the oven and set aside.
  • For Sauce:
  • In a medium pot heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and saute for 3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 10 minutes. Gently stir in the meatballs and any pan drippings from baking sheet and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  • Spaghetti:
  • Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and place the pasta on a large serving platter. Place the meatballs over the spaghetti, pour the sauce on top and serve immediately.

CHICKEN SPAGHETTI



Chicken Spaghetti image

With spaghetti and mushroom sauce, and light and dark meat chicken with bell peppers, Ree Drummond's casserole is like two meals in one. Cooking the spaghetti in the same liquid as the chicken infuses it with flavor, and the Cheddar thickens the sauce so it coats each piece of meat.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 whole raw chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 pound thin spaghetti, broken into 2-inch pieces
2 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
1/4 cup finely diced green bell pepper
1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Two 10 3/4-ounce cans cream of mushroom soup
1 medium onion, finely diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the chicken pieces to the boiling water and boil for a few minutes, then return the heat to medium-low and simmer, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken and 2 cups of the chicken cooking broth from the pot. When the chicken is cool, remove the skin and pick out the meat (a mix of dark and white) to make 2 generous cups.
  • Cook the spaghetti in the same chicken cooking broth until al dente. Do not overcook. When the spaghetti is cooked, combine with the chicken, mushroom soup, 1 1/2 cups cheese, the green peppers, red peppers, onions, seasoned salt, cayenne, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir in 1 cup of the reserved chicken cooking broth, adding an additional cup if needed.
  • Place the mixture in a casserole pan and top with the remaining 1 cup cheese. Cover and freeze up to 6 months, cover and refrigerate up to 2 days or bake immediately until bubbly, about 45 minutes. (If the cheese on top starts to get too cooked, cover with foil).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your chicken spaghetti bake. Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, ripe tomatoes, and a flavorful cheese blend.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure that it is safe to eat. You can check the chicken's doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook the pasta, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what brings all the flavors of chicken spaghetti bake together. Use a flavorful sauce that you enjoy, such as a tomato-based sauce or a creamy Alfredo sauce.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is what makes chicken spaghetti bake so rich and delicious. Use a generous amount of cheese, such as a combination of mozzarella, Parmesan, and cheddar.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown: This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Chicken spaghetti bake is a delicious and easy-to-make casserole dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great dish to take to potlucks or parties. With a few simple tips, you can make a chicken spaghetti bake that is sure to impress your family and friends.
