RIGATONI AND MEATBALLS



Rigatoni and Meatballs image

I always wanted to be Italian. It never materialized for me, though. Something about the fact that none of my ancestors were Italian. Details can be so annoying sometimes. Despite my lack of Italian heritage, however, I have to say that my meatballs ain't bad at all. Marlboro Man loves them, and because long, round noodles (some humans refer to them as "spaghetti") are cumbersome and unwieldy, I take the easy road and serve mine with rigatoni.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, prep all your ingredients and keep them within reach. This will make the cooking process smoother and more efficient.
  • Choose Quality Ingredients: The freshness and quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your meatballs. Use the best quality ground beef, fresh herbs, and spices you can find.
  • Properly Mix and Handle the Meatball Mixture: Mix the meatball mixture gently and avoid overworking it. Overworking can make the meatballs tough. Wet your hands before forming the meatballs to prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands.
  • Brown the Meatballs Thoroughly: Searing the meatballs before simmering adds flavor and helps keep them moist. Make sure you brown them on all sides for even cooking.
  • Use a Combination of Rotel and Tomato Sauce: Rotel adds a smoky, spicy flavor to the sauce, while tomato sauce provides a rich, tangy base. The combination of the two creates a delicious and flavorful sauce.
  • Simmer the Meatballs in the Sauce: Allow the meatballs to simmer in the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or until they are cooked through. This will help infuse them with the flavors of the sauce.
  • Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the meatballs with fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve them over rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite pasta.
