Categories     Spaghetti

Time 45m

Yield 20 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup milk or 1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, 2 smashed and 1 chopped
2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
salt
1 lb lean ground sirloin
2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
1/2 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese, plus more for serving
1 large egg
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 20 (1/2-inch)
1 lb spaghetti

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, soak the bread crumbs in the milk.
  • In a large, wide saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the smashed garlic and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, season to taste with salt and let the sauce simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the beef, chopped garlic, parsley, Parmigiano-Reggiano, egg and 1 teaspoon of salt to the soaked bread crumbs and stir with a fork until combined. Place about 2 tablespoons of the mixture in your hand and press a mozzarella cube into the center. Shape the meat around the cheese, forming a ball. Repeat with the remaining meat and mozzarella.
  • Stir the sauce and raise the heat to medium- low. Carefully place the meatballs in the sauce, submerging them completely. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook without stirring for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti, cook until al dente, about 8 minutes, and drain. Toss the spaghetti with the tomato sauce and meatballs, sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano and serve.

The meatballs were delicious, but the spaghetti was a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking the spaghetti for a shorter amount of time.
