PASTA WITH MEATBALLS AND HERB SAUCE



Pasta With Meatballs and Herb Sauce image

Before you use herbs as a main ingredient - it helps to know which ones work on a grand scale. Parsley, obviously, works in abundance: it's clean-tasting, pleasantly grassy and almost never overwhelming. You can add literally a bunch (bunches!) of it to salad, soup, eggs, pasta, grains or beans. The same is largely true of basil, and you can use other mild herbs - chervil, chives, cilantro, dill, shiso - by at least the handful. (Mint is also useful but will easily take over a dish if you add too much of it. But all of these are great for making herb pastes, or pestos, alone or in combination. Use the same technique you use for basil pesto.)

Categories     dinner, easy, pastas, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups finely chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh chives
1 thin slice white bread
1/4 cup milk
1/2 pound ground sirloin, pork or lamb or a mixture
Salt
black pepper
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound pasta
1 garlic clove
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for garnish

Steps:

  • Mix together the basil, parsley and chives. Soak the bread in the milk for 5 minutes, then gently squeeze any excess milk from the bread; discard the milk. Combine the bread with the meat, 1 cup of the herbs and some salt and pepper; shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Put 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the meatballs in a single layer (work in batches if necessary). Cook, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Cook the pasta in the boiling water until tender but not mushy. While the pasta is cooking, purée 11/2 cups of the herbs with 4 tablespoons oil, the garlic and some salt and pepper in a mini food processor or blender; leave the sauce rough or add a little water if you want it smoother. Drain the pasta, reserving about a cup of its cooking liquid. Toss the pasta with the herb sauce and most of the remaining herbs, adding the reserved liquid if the mixture seems dry. Top with the meatballs, garnish with Parmesan and the last of the herbs and serve.

Tips:

  • Use ripe pineapple: The riper the pineapple, the sweeter and more flavorful your sauce will be.
  • Don't overcook the pineapple: Overcooked pineapple can become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, will add a lot of flavor to your sauce.
  • Don't brown the meatballs too much: Browning the meatballs too much will make them tough.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve with your favorite pasta: Spaghetti, penne, and rigatoni are all good choices.

Conclusion:

Pineapple spaghetti sauce and meatballs is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pineapple adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the sauce, while the meatballs are tender and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
