Meat Balls with Spaghetti
Meatballs are one of the most well-known and most loved dishes around the world. This recipe has all the traditional flavor of old-fashioned meatballs but it’s made in an easier way
Ingredients
- 1.1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion
- 1/2 tsp fresh garlic paste
- 1/2 tsp ginger paste
- 2 tbsp virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg
- pinch salt
- pinch pepper
- 1/4 tsp Oregano
- 3-4 green chilli's (chopped)
- 1/4 cup parsley (chopped)
- 1 1/2 cups tomato puree
- 12 oz spaghetti
Instructions
- Boil the spaghetti for 12 minutes, drain the hot water and sprinkle some oil over the spaghetti so it doesn't stick together.
- While the spaghetti is cooking take a large bowl and combine all the ingredients in it except tomato puree. Mix well
- Shape the mixture into meatballs
- Now take a cooking pan and add oil to it
- Place the meatballs in the pan and let them fry for 2 minutes at a high heat until the balls become firm and brown.
- Now add the tomato puree
- Cook on a med-low heat for 15 minutes or until the oil leaves the puree, stirring occasionally
- Drain oil off, and add on top of the spaghetti
Notes
- Use full-fat ground beef instead of lean. The extra fat helps them bind.
