1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
1 large egg white

Classic Spaghetti and Meatballs image

I can't claim to be Italian, but I sure did a lot of research when it came to tackling this classic Italian dish. In addition to tasting fabulous, this recipe is so easy to put together. It's great for making extra meatballs for leftovers and is accessible enough that anyone should be able to throw it together on a weeknight.

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for topping
1/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons milk
1 large egg, beaten
8 ounces ground chuck
8 ounces ground pork
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
5 cups Classic Tomato Basil Sauce, recipe follows
1 pound spaghetti
Fresh basil, for garnish
4 pounds ripe plum tomatoes or two 28-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice, such as Organic Muir Glen
2 heads garlic, cloves peeled and halved lengthwise
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons hot red pepper flakes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine the cheese, breadcrumbs, milk and egg in a large mixing bowl until well mixed. Add the chuck and pork and mix to combine, working gently to avoid overworking the meat. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Shape into small golf ball-size meatballs and place on the lined baking sheet.
  • Bake the meatballs until they are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring the Classic Tomato Basil Sauce to a simmer. Transfer the meatballs to the tomato sauce and toss to coat, allowing them to simmer for another 5 minutes. Meatballs can be held in the sauce until ready to serve.
  • Cook the pasta according to package directions. Transfer the cooked pasta directly to the sauce, tossing to coat.
  • Serve the spaghetti and meatballs topped with grated Parmesan and fresh basil.
  • Cut an "X" in the bottom of each tomato and blanch in a large pot of boiling water 10 seconds. Immediately transfer the tomatoes with a slotted spoon to an ice bath to cool, then peel, seed and chop.
  • Cook the garlic in the oil in a small, heavy pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and red pepper flakes, season with salt and pepper, and add the fresh basil. Cover and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

EXCELLENT CLASSIC MEATBALLS



Excellent Classic Meatballs image

These are the best meatballs I've ever tasted!! Add them to a simmering pot of sauce, have meatball subs or, as one blog suggested, serve them on top of polenta for a surprisingly tasty entree. The sauteed onions and garlic make this recipe special, but you can vary the meats or the size of the meatballs to suit your tastes. From chef Anne Burrell, Mario Batali's long time sous chef on Iron Chef America, who mixes crazy personality with excellent techniques. The recipe came with one for marinara sauce, but there are so many good ones posted here I didn't include it.

Categories     Pork

Time 1h23m

Yield 18-20 golfball-sized meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 13

extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, cut in a 1/4-inch dice
kosher salt (don't use regular)
2 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground veal
1/2 lb ground pork
2 large eggs
1 cup grated parmigiano
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, add the onions and bring to a medium-high heat. Season the onions generously with Kosher salt and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes. The onions should be very soft and aromatic but have no color. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and saute for another 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off heat and allow to cool.
  • In a large bowl combine the meats, eggs, Parmigiano, parsley and bread crumbs. It works well to squish the mixture with your hands. Add the cooled onion mixture, season generously with Kosher salt and squish some more. Add the water and do 1 final really good squish. The mixture should be quite wet.
  • Test the seasoning of the mix by making a mini hamburger size patty and cooking it. The mixture should taste really good! If it doesn't, it is probably missing salt. Add more. Add more anyway.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Shape the meat into desired size. Some people like 'em big; some people like 'em small. I prefer meatballs slightly larger than a golf ball. Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring to a medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides.
  • Place them on a cookie sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked all the way through. If using right away, add them to a big pot of marinara sauce. If not using right away, they can be frozen for later use. Serve with pasta and sauce or just eat them straight out of the pot! YUM!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your spaghetti and meatballs even better. Look for ripe tomatoes, tender spaghetti noodles, and high-quality ground beef.
  • Brown the meatballs properly: Browning the meatballs before simmering them in sauce helps to develop their flavor and prevent them from falling apart. Make sure to brown the meatballs in a single layer in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the sauce for a longer period of time allows the flavors to meld and develop. For the best flavor, simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour.
  • Serve the spaghetti and meatballs with your favorite toppings: Grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and crusty bread are all classic toppings for spaghetti and meatballs. You can also get creative and add your own favorite toppings, such as sautéed mushrooms, roasted vegetables, or a dollop of ricotta cheese.
