Ingredients

Meatballs

Preparation

Cooking Instructions

1. Make the Meatballs

In a large bowl, combine crab meat, ground beef, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

2. Form the Meatballs

Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3. Bake the Meatballs

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

4. Prepare the Fra Diavolo Sauce

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in sherry and let it simmer for a few minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens.

5. Combine Meatballs and Sauce

Once the meatballs are done baking, add them to the skillet with the fra diavolo sauce. Gently toss to coat the meatballs in the sauce.

6. Serve

Serve the spaghetti topped with the crab meatballs and sauce. Garnish with additional fresh basil and grated cheese.
