This is a new Meatballs and Ziti Bake recipe that I want to share with you. I often need some carb heavy recipes that are healthy, especially when I need to go running. This one went over pretty well for the entire family. It is a delicious and healthy pasta recipe. A total comfort food for a crowd.

The Perfect Meatballs And Ziti Bake

Cooking time: 45 minutes

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces uncooked whole-wheat ziti
  • 1/3 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 12 ounces 90% lean ground sirloin
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 (28-ounce) can unsalted crushed tomatoes
  • 2 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1/2 cu

Instructions

1. Preheat the broiler to a high.

2. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain in a colander over a bowl; reserve 1/2 cup cooking liquid.

3. Place panko, 1 tablespoon garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, black pepper, beef, and egg in a bowl, stirring just until combined. Shape beef mixture into 12 (1-inch) meatballs.

4. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil; swirl to coat. Add meatballs to pan; cook for 5 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Add remaining 1 tablespoon garlic; cook for 30 seconds. Add reserved 1/2 cup cooking liquid, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, 3 tablespoons basil, crushed red pepper, and tomatoes to the pan. Reduce heat to medium; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.

5. Stir pasta into tomato mixture; spread evenly in skillet. Sprinkle cheese over top; broil 1 minute or until cheese melts. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon basil.

Notes:

Like I said, this was pretty well liked by the family. The only tweak I would make is using half the amount of crushed red pepper or using none at all. It is a bit spicy for the kids.
