COOKS COUNTRY SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

Steps:

• 1. Combine meat, bread crumbs, egg, and half of garlic in bowl and knead gently until combined. Form mixture into 4 dozen 1-inch meatballs. Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook meatballs until well browned all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer meatballs to plate.
• 2. Add remaining garlic to skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, water, and pasta and bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring often, until pasta begins to soften, about 7 minutes. Return meatballs to pan and simmer, covered, until meatballs are cooked through and pasta is al dente, about 5 minutes longer. Off heat, stir in basil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve.

CROCK POT SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

Steps:

• In a 6-quart oval slow cooker, pour in half the jarred spaghetti sauce and do your best to spread it around evenly.
• Layer the frozen meatballs in a single layer (as best as possible) on top of spaghetti sauce.
• Pour the rest of the spaghetti sauce over the meatballs.
• Then pour in 4 cups of water.
• Sprinkle minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and basil on top. No need to stir.
• Finally, layer the spaghetti noodles on top and evenly drizzle the spaghetti noodles with 2-3 tbsp olive oil to lightly coat.
• Then, gently push down the spaghetti noodles until they are under the water (breaking them if necessary to fit.)
• Try to make sure each noodle is coated in the sauce. This will help to keep the noodles from sticking together while cooking.
• Cover and cook on low for about 2.5 hours (until noodles are soft and meatballs are heated through).
• About halfway through, gently stir the noodles with a pasta fork to make sure none of the noodles are sticking together.
• Spaghetti is ready when the noodles are al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed by the pasta.

THE BEST SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Whisk together the panko, Parmesan, parsley, fennel seeds, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the oregano, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a medium bowl until combined. Stir in the cream.
• Combine the beef, pork and veal in a large bowl. Pull the ground meat apart with two forks as if you were shredding pulled pork, breaking up the clumps and incorporating the meat without compacting it until thoroughly mixed and no clumps remain. Add the panko mixture to the meat and use the same pulling technique to mix until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
• Lightly oil your hands. Scoop out portions of the meat mixture with a 1/4-cup measuring cup or large ice cream scoop; roll the meat gently between your hands into balls. Arrange the balls on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the meatballs and cook, turning and rolling occasionally, until they are browned on all sides, about 5 minutes total; remove to a plate. The meatballs will not be cooked through; they will finish cooking in the sauce. Repeat with the remaining meatballs.
• Reduce the heat to medium, add the onion and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomato paste is brick red, about 1 minute. Stir in the wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and cook until the liquid is almost completely evaporated, about 3 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and basil to the sauce, smashing and breaking up the tomatoes into bite-size pieces with a wooden spoon. Bring the sauce just to a boil, and then add the meatballs with any accumulated juices. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the meatballs are cooked through, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Drain well.
• Transfer the meatballs to a plate. Discard the basil and season with salt.
• Add the pasta to the sauce. Gently stir until the sauce coats the pasta. Transfer the spaghetti to a serving platter and top with the meatballs. Sprinkle with Parmesan before serving.
