Delicious One Pan Spaghetti and Meatballs Recipe

One Pan Spaghetti and Meatballs combines rich, savory flavors with tender meatballs and al dente pasta for a comforting meal, ideal for cozy family dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  • Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Arrange them on a plate.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the meatballs, cooking until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Once browned, remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add crushed tomatoes, stirring to combine.
  • Return the meatballs to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Add the spaghetti directly into the skillet, ensuring it’s submerged in the sauce. Stir gently to prevent sticking.
  • Cover the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the spaghetti is al dente, stirring occasionally.
  • Check the seasoning, adjusting with salt and pepper if desired. Remove from heat.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil and extra Parmesan if desired.
