Ingredients

For the Meatballs

• 1 small yellow onion or half of a large onion, very finely chopped

• 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping

• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

• 1 large egg

• 1/2 pound 85% lean ground beef • 1/2 pound ground pork

• 1 ¼ teaspoon kosher salt • 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg

• 1/4 cup olive oil, for cooking

For the Sauce and Pasta

• One Jar of Homemade Tomato Sauce • One Pound of Pasta

Instructions

To make the meatballs, add the onion, garlic, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs and egg to a large bowl. Mix to combine. Add the pork and beef along with the salt and nutmeg. Using your hands, finish incorporating the mixture together. Slightly wet your hands and begin forming very small meatballs, using a teaspoon measure to form them. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 cup of oil over medium-high heat. Wait a minute until the oil is hot. Add one meatball to test the heat of the oil; it should sizzle when it hits the pan. Add all of the meatballs and cook undisturbed for about 3-5 minutes, until they are browned on the first side. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently jostle the meatballs so the other sides can cook, about 3 more minutes. Remove the meatballs and place on a pan or plate. Meanwhile, Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta to the boiling salted water and cook to al dente package instructions. In a large saucepan heat up your sauce and add your meatballs. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. Using tongs add your pasta directly into the sauce. Gently toss to coat in the sauce entirely. Serve with extra Parmesan and basil, if desired. #PastaWithMeatballs #pasta #meatballs #foodtiktok #cooking #homecooking #fyp #foodie #cook #homecooked #cookingathome
