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

Method
 

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