Meatballs and spaghetti ( 2- 3 servings)

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Unpack your minced beef from the packaging and place it in a bowl. Add some finely chopped half onion, two cloves of crushed garlic, and a teaspoon of finely chopped green chilies. The green chilies are completely optional, but this is the way to go if you would love some heat.
  2. Add a handful of parmesan cheese and two tablespoons of finely chopped parsley, and top this off with a teaspoon of black pepper. 1/2 teaspoons of salt.
  3. Add one large egg to the bowl and mix everything with your hands. Work the minced beef the same way you would work the dough to incorporate all the seasonings fully, and set the bowl aside.
  4. Scoop out small portions of meat (according to the desired size), and roll this meat between your palms to get a ball shape similar to a tennis ball.
  5. Sprinkle some flour on the meatballs and roll them in the flour. Doing this would create a light coating that would make your meatballs crispy on the outside when cooked.
  6. Heat your pan on medium, and when the pan becomes hot, add two tablespoons of vegetable oil; spread this oil around to cover the entire cooking surface of the pan.
  7. Add your meatballs to the pan one after the other. To ensure they cook evenly, do not allow your meatballs to touch themselves.
  8. Sear your meatballs for about 1 or 2 minutes on every side until they become a golden brown color. Remove them from the pan and set them aside.
  9. In a pot, add some water and bring it to a boil; add some olive oil and two teaspoons of salt. Add in your pasta and slowly bend around with a tong until everything sits properly in the pot. Cook this for 11 minutes and drain off the excess water
  10. In another pan, add some oil and saute some chopped onions and garlic paste for about 1 minute; throw in some chopped tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes until the tomatoes become soft.
  11. Add a cup of tomato puree and season with salt, black pepper, and chicken bullion cubes; stir the sauce properly and set to simmer.
  12. Slowly add in your meatballs, submerge them in the sauce and allow to cook for 10 minutes.
  13. Set to very low heat, add a sprinkle of fresh basil leaves, and add your pasta. Turn off the heat and mix everything slowly (you don’t want your meatballs to break).
  14. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy.
