Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped basil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, onion, milk, egg, salt, and pepper until well combined. Form the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are browned and cooked through.
3. While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
4. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the crushed tomatoes, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Add the cooked meatballs to the sauce and let them simmer for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
6. Serve the spaghetti with the meatballs and sauce on top. Garnish with additional parmesan cheese and parsley, if desired.
Tips:
- If you have any leftover meatballs, they can be frozen for up to 3 months.
- If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can blend the crushed tomatoes in a blender or food processor before adding them to the saucepan.
- If you like a little heat, you can add more red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- You can use ground turkey or pork instead of beef for the meatballs.
Overall, spaghetti and meatballs is a classic dish that is easy to make and always satisfying. With this recipe from Gordon Ramsay, you can experience the authentic Italian flavors in the comfort of your own home. Enjoy!
