Pasta and Meatballs
Method
Preparation and Cooking
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the mostaccioli and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Meatballs
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined, then shape into large meatballs (about 2 inches in diameter).
Cook the Meatballs
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Combine Everything
Add the browned meatballs back to the sauce and let them simmer in the sauce for an additional 10 minutes. Serve the meatballs and sauce over the cooked mostaccioli.
