Easy Cheesy Meatballs with Spaghetti
A great alternative to the basic Spaghetti Bolognese, that the whole family will love.
Ingredients
- 1 kg Minced Beef
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 cup Grated Tasty Cheese
- 1 Large Onion
- ¼ cup Fresh Chopped Basil
- 5 Garlic Cloves
- Salt and Pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- Plain Flour
- 2 500g Jars of Bolognese Sauce
- 1 pkt Spaghetti
Instructions
- Finely chop the onion and chop the grated cheese into small pieces. Lightly beat the two eggs and mince or blend the garlic cloves.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the mince, eggs, onion, cheese, basil, garlic and lightly season with salt and pepper. Combine until all the ingredients are all mixed through.
- Roll into 24 palm-sized balls and dredge in flour.
- In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and lightly brown the meatballs in batches. Do this in batches and until all sides of the meatballs are brown, approximately 5 minutes per batch.
- While the first batch of meatballs in browning spray the bottom of a large saucepan or a stockpot with non-stick spray. Pour a small amount of the bolognese sauce into the bottom of the pot (just enough to cover the bottom).
- Drain each batch on some paper towel, then add to the pot. Add some sauce in between each layer of meatballs and top with the final amount of sauce. Cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Cook your spaghetti according to the directions on the packet.
Notes
Serve in large pasta bowls or on plates, topped with parmesan cheese. Along with a salad of your choice.
