Pappardelle & Meatballs

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatballs

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix until well combined and form into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Return the meatballs to the skillet and let them simmer in the sauce for 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pappardelle

    While the sauce is simmering, cook the pappardelle pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Toss the cooked pappardelle with the meatball sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh basil and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot.
