One Pan Spaghetti and Meatballs
Ingredients
Meatballs:
• 1-pound ground beef
• 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
• ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
• ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg, whisked
• ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Spaghetti:
• 1-pound dried spaghetti
• 3 cups marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, plus more to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions
1. Make the Meatballs: In a medium bowl, mix the beef with the garlic powder, parsley, and Parmesan to combine. Add the egg and breadcrumbs and mix to combine.
2. Form the mixture into balls, using about two tablespoons of meat per ball. In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs to the pan and cook until they are fully cooked and golden brown all over, three to five minutes.
3. Make the Spaghetti: Remove the meatballs from the pan and set them aside. Drain any grease from the pan, and then fill it with three inches of water and a few pinches of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the spaghetti in an even layer and boil until al dente, eight to nine minutes (or according to package directions).
4. Drain the spaghetti, then return it to the pan. Add the marinara sauce and meatballs; toss to coat. Garnish with Parmesan and parsley. Serve warm, immediately.
