- When it comes to comforting weeknight dinners, it doesn’t get more classic than spaghetti and meatballs. This pasta dinner is easy to make, and even easier to devour. If you’re looking for a classic, no-frills spaghetti and meatballs, then you’ve come to the right place!
Ingredients
1 Whole Spaghetti Squash
1 lb. ground beef
1/3 c. bread crumbs
1 large egg
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 c. onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 (28-oz.) can crushed tomatoes
1/4 c. chopped Basil leaves
1/4 tsp. Sugar (optional)
1/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan for serving
1/2 tsp Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook spaghetti squash until tender. Remove and place on the side to cool. Pull the squash strands apart with a fork. Place in a bowl to the side.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine beef with bread crumbs, egg, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper (I use Zatarains creole seasoning). Add Italian seasoning. Mix until just combined then form into 9 balls.
Step 3
Place meatballs into a baking pan. Bake on 350° for 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 4
Cook remaining meat and onion mixture. Add tomato paste and crushed tomatoes. Add sugar. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Return meatballs to pot and cover. Simmer until sauce has thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 5
Serve spaghetti squash with a healthy scoop of meatballs and meat sauce. Top with Parmesan before serving.
Enjoy!😊
