Ultimate Spaghetti And Meatball Supper Rachael Ray Recipes

SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place a large pot of water on to boil for spaghetti. When it boils, add salt and pasta and cook to al dente.
• Mix beef and Worcestershire, egg, bread crumbs, cheese, garlic, salt and pepper. Roll meat into 1 1/2 inch medium-sized meatballs and place on nonstick cookie sheet or a cookie sheet greased with extra-virgin olive oil. Bake balls 10 to 12 minutes, until no longer pink.
• Heat a deep skillet or medium pot over moderate heat. Add oil, crushed pepper, garlic and finely chopped onion. Saute 5 to 7 minutes, until onion bits are soft. Add beef stock, crushed tomatoes, and herbs. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes.
• Toss hot, drained pasta with a few ladles of the sauce and grated cheese. Turn meatballs in remaining sauce. Place pasta on dinner plates and top with meatballs and sauce and extra grated cheese. Serve with bread or garlic bread (and some good chianti!)

ULTIMATE SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALL SUPPER (RACHAEL RAY)

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil for the pasta.
• Add olive oil to a medium saucepan over moderate heat. Add the onions and half of the chopped garlic, and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Let simmer for 8-10 minutes.
• While the sauce is simmering, make the meatballs. Place the ground beef in a medium mixing bowl and add the remaining chopped garlic, parsley, egg, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup Parmigiano cheese, salt and pepper. After thoroughly combining everything with your hands, roll the mixture into balls the size of a large walnut and drop into the simmering sauce.
• While the meatballs are simmering in the sauce, add the beef bouillon cubes and bay leaf to the boiling water for the pasta. Once the cubes are dissolved, add the spaghetti. Cook to al dente. Right before draining the pasta, reserve a ladle of pasta water for the sauce.
• Once the meatballs are cooked through, add the reserved starchy beefy pasta water and the butter to the sauce. Drain the spaghetti, discard the bay leaf and transfer to a large serving bowl. Top with the sauce and the remaining 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano. Pass more grated cheese at the table.

RACHAEL RAY MEATBALLS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix beef, Worcestershire sauce, egg, bread crumbs, cheese, garlic, salt and pepper.
• Roll this mixture into the shape of meatballs. You can decide the size of the meatballs whether you want them small or big.
• Take a non-stick cookie sheet and grease it with some olive oil.
• Now, place these balls on this sheet. Bake them for about 10-12 minutes at 425oF in the oven.
• Now, to make the sauce, heat a skillet on medium heat. Add oil, garlic, finely chopped onion and crushed red pepper flakes to it. Sauté it for about 5-7 minutes until the onions become tender.
• Add the beef stock and rushed tomatoes to it. Also, add parsley, basil, salt, and pepper to it.
• Cook it on low heat for 10 minutes until it starts boiling. Now, add the cooked meatballs into the sauce. Cook them for 2-3 minutes and turn the heat off.
• Garnish with some cheese and enjoy it with any bread or pasta.
