Family Spice Recipe for Spaghetti and Meatballs

Spaghetti and Meatballs

Most recipes ask for bread crumbs or bread soaked in milk. But while on a low-carb diet, I wanted meatballs without the bread. These meatballs are filling, moist and very tastey. Great alone, in a sandwich or with pasta.

 

 

  1. In a large bowl, using your hands, combine until fully incorporated:
    • 1 lb ground beef
    • 1 1/4 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
    • 2 eggs
    • 1/2 cup grated parmesean
    • 1 1/2 tsp parsley, dried
    • 1 tsp basil, dried
    • 1 tsp garlic powder, or 2 garlic cloves, crushed
    • 1 tsp onion powder, or 1/4 cup onions, minced
  2. Let mixture sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Using the meat mixture, form meatballs and place on plate or baking sheet until ready to use. For 1.5-inch size, you will make approximately 20 meatballs.
  4. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add:
    • 1 TBS olive oil
  5. Working in two batches, place about half the meatballs into the hot skillet.
  6. Brown each side of the meatball, gently rotating them every 3 minutes.
  7. Place browned meatballs into an oven safe casserole dish.
  8. Add to the hot skillet:
    • 1 TBS olive oil
  9. Brown the remaining meatballs and place in casserole dish.
  10. Coat and cover the meatballs with:
  11. Place casserole dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  12. Serve with:
    • 1-1 1/2 lbs spaghetti, cooked al dente
