Spaghetti Marinara with Pork Meatballs

Spaghetti Marinara With Pork Meatballs
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

We just tossed this idea together because we found a package of ground pork on sale plus $1 off for $1.99 at Target. We have not cooked with ground pork, so we figured we’d buy it and figure something out. So, inspired by our favourite TV chefs, Ina Garten & Giada DeLaurentiis, we came up with this delicious dish – Spaghetti Marinara with Pork Meatballs. 

Side dishes that go well with Spaghetti Marinara with Pork Meatballs:

  • garlic bread, of course!
  • we did green beans, but if you ask me, they were out of place here
  • a salad is a classic choice as well

Some alternatives you can try:

  • make your own sauce
  • use ground beef instead of pork
  • use a different type of sauce or pasta (this recipe is easy to change!)

Equipment

  • 1 medium skillet
  • 1 deep skillet
  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 baking sheet/cutting board

Ingredients
 
 

  • Pork Mince1 pound ground pork (minced pork)
  • Bunch Of Spaghetti Isolated On White1 box spaghetti - we used whole wheat
  • Ripe Yellow Onion On A White Background1 small yellow onion - diced/minced
  • Garlic1 clove garlic
  • Chicken Egg1 medium egg
  • Top View Of Bowl Full Of Breadcrumbs2 tablespoons bread crumbs
  • Parmesan Cheese2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
  • Pasta Sauce Or Marinara Sauce1 jar Marinara sauce (tomatoes, garlic, herbs, and onions – pasta sauce in southern hemisphere for Italian seafood dish) - we used a marinara from Trader Joe’s
  • Wooden Bowl Of Salt½ teaspoon salt
  • Ground Black Pepper Pile, Paths, Top¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Oregano (Origanum Vulgare) Leaves½ teaspoon oregano - or Italian seasoning, optional
  • Glass Bowl Of Olive Oil Isolated On White Background3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Prep the ingredients: dice onions and garlic, get spices measured and ready.
  • Heat a medium skillet and soften half of the diced onions with olive oil. Pop the softened onions in the freezer for a couple of minutes to cool them just a bit.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, softened 1/2 onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, Parmesan, bread crumbs and whole egg. Mix with clean hands until everything is incorporated. Roll into ping pong ball sized meatballs and place on baking sheet/cutting board.
  • Heat medium skillet over medium-high heat. At the same time, begin boiling pasta water in another pot. Add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan and put meatballs in. Brown the meatballs on each side for 2-3 minutes. Don’t worry; you’re NOT cooking them all the way through in this step.
  • Heat deep skillet and add a bit of oil. Add other 1/2 onion to a deep skillet and soften. Once soft, reduce heat to medium-low and add sauce. Add the browned meatballs to the deep skillet with the sauce. Cover skillet and continue on medium-low (or low if it bubbles) for 10 minutes or so.
  • At this time, begin cooking your pasta. It will be done at just the right time!
  • Check the temperature of meatballs with a meat thermometer – once they hit 160°F, they’re done! Plate it, and you’re done!

Notes

So there you have it, another easy and healthy dinner that is full of flavour and easy on the wallet!
