Italian Wedding Celebration
Italian Wedding Celebration is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for any special occasion. This dish is a combination of savory meatballs, tender pasta, and a rich tomato sauce that will leave your taste buds wanting more.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
For the Meatballs:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Pasta:
- 1 pound spaghetti
- Salt, for boiling water
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper. Roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
While the meatballs are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for 10-15 minutes.
In a separate pot, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta and add it to the saucepan with the tomato sauce. Toss the pasta with the sauce until it is well coated.
To serve, place a few meatballs on top of each serving of pasta. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, if desired.
Italian Wedding Celebration is a classic Italian dish that is sure to impress your guests. The meatballs are tender and flavorful, while the pasta is perfectly cooked and coated in a rich tomato sauce. This dish is perfect for any special occasion, from weddings to birthdays to holidays.
