Classic Spaghetti and Meatballs

My take on a yummy classic dish!

Ingredients

1 pound of ground beef

Paprika mix from Gourmet Collection

Oregano

Basil

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Dried Italian seasoning

2 tsps worcestershire

Fresh parsley

1-1 1/2 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese

My secret ingredient 🤫: onion soup mix

2/3 cup Panko breadcrumbs (add more if the meat mixture is too wet)

2 eggs

Salt and pepper

I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t measure the seasonings for this, and I usually don’t. Just go by what you feel in your soul is right and you’ll be alright ✨ just don’t over salt anything 👍🏾

Add all of the ingredients listed above in a bowl and mix until well combined (recommend using these cooking gloves and getting in there to massage it together)
Like this 🤗
Form into meatballs and set aside while you heat your pan (ensure it’s heavy like a cast iron)
Drizzle about 2 tbsps of olive oil in pan. Sear the meatballs on high heat
Should be browned on all sides like this 🤗
Sauté 1/2 onion in a pan (I used a red onion since it’s all I had on hand) and add your favorite marinara- I highly recommend Rao’s
Add meatballs back in the pan, cover, and cook in the oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes
Boil spaghetti noodles until tender, assemble with sauce and meatballs and as much cheese you’d like! Garnish with fresh parsley.

Bonus: Make a compound butter with any leftover parsley and cheese you have along with roasted garlic and broil on sourdough for a delicious garlic toast on the side 🤗

Enjoy! 🍝
