Spaghetti & Meatball Pasta
Ingredients: -
500g beef mince
225g egg spaghetti
½ cup fresh breadcrumbs
¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 garlic cloves, crushed
Kosher salt
½ tsp red pepper flakes
2 Tbsp olive oil
½ onion, finely chopped
1 (28oz) can crushed tomatoes
2 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped
1 Tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
METHOD: -
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta until al dente. Drain.
In a large bowl, combine beef with breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, parmesan, egg, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and red pepper flakes. Mix until just combined then form into 16 balls.
In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer meatballs to a plate.
Add onion to pot and cook until soft, 5 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Return meatballs to pot and cover. Simmer until sauce has thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve pasta with a healthy scoop of meatballs and sauce. Top with Parmesan before serving.
