Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 serving cooking spray
1 pound ground beef
¼ cup chopped onion
4 each buttery round crackers, crushed
1 egg
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup small broccoli florets
½ cup chopped carrots
½ cup chopped celery
½ large bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, diced
1 (24 ounce) jar tomato sauce
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
1 tablespoon oil
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Combine ground beef, onion, crackers, egg, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and mix until well combined. Shape mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place in the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink inside, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and oil and boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  • Add cooked meatballs to the sauce and simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes.
  • Serve noodles with meatballs and sauce on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

EASY SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS



Easy Spaghetti and Meatballs image

This is a very tasty dish that I've had lots of compliments on, even tho I cheat and use jarred sauce (shhh)...I think the slow simmering of the flavorful meatballs really makes this taste homemade all the way!!! This makes a lot, so I usually use the leftovers to make meatball subs.

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (30 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
2 lbs lean ground beef
2 eggs
3/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2-1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 lb spaghetti, cooked al dente

Steps:

  • Place sauce in a large saucepan and simmer over medium heat.
  • In large bowl mix beef, eggs, crumbs, parsley, garlic, salt and Parmesan.
  • Shape into 18 meatballs.
  • Place meatballs in simmering sauce.
  • When sauce returns to a simmer, cover and cook 30-35 minutes (or more!) till cooked through.
  • Serve sauce and meatballs over warm spaghetti.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot to cook the spaghetti so that it has plenty of room to expand.
  • Add salt to the water before cooking the spaghetti. This will help to flavor the pasta.
  • Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Be sure not to overcook it, as this will make it mushy.
  • While the spaghetti is cooking, make the meatballs. Combine all of the meatball ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them in a baking dish.
  • Bake the meatballs in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • While the meatballs are baking, make the sauce. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook until they are softened.
  • Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or until it has thickened.
  • Once the spaghetti, meatballs, and sauce are all cooked, combine them in a large bowl. Toss to coat the spaghetti in the sauce. Serve immediately with grated Parmesan cheese.
