Our Spaghetti and Meatballs recipe is a sure crowd pleaser! Plump meatballs, tasty marinara sauce, and fun twirly noodles, what's not to love?
Ingredients
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 garlic cloves, minced
1½ Tbsp Italian seasoning
1½ tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2/3 cup Italian style breadcrumbs
1 pound ground beef (we use 85/15)
1 pound ground pork
2 Tbsp olive oil
48oz marinara sauce (see note 1)
1 pound spaghetti
parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and parsley. Add breadcrumbs and ground meats, and mix by hand until well combined. Do not overmix.
Form the mixture into 1½-2 inch same-sized meatballs.
In a large skillet or dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add meatballs and brown on all sides. Do not overcrowd, work in batches if necessary. Remove browned meatballs to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium. Add marinara sauce into the pan, and stir to deglaze. Bring to a simmer.
Add the meatballs into the sauce, reduce heat to medium low, simmer covered for at least 30 minutes.
Remove cover. Continue simmering until the sauce has thickened to your liking.
While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water (approximately 1 tsp salt per quart of water) to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions to al dente.
To serve: You can either mix the pasta in with all of the sauce and meatballs, or mix only 1-2 cups of sauce with the pasta, then serve remaining sauce and meatballs on top of the pasta in individual servings.
Serve topped with a sprinkle of freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Notes
You have a few options for the sauce. Option 1: Make Homemade Marinara Sauce ahead of time. We like to make double batches and keep a few jars handy in the freezer. Option 2: You can also follow the same marinara recipe after removing the meatballs. Simply reduce the amount of olive oil to 2 Tbsp, then add the meatballs into the sauce after it simmers 5-10 minutes. Option 3: Use a good quality store bought marinara. Our favorite brand is Botticelli.
