Anyone can make spaghetti meatballs: it’s a relatively simple dish that many people enjoy. There are many variations on the recipe and cooking method, though. Here is how to make spaghetti meatballs with easy instructions.

Ingredients:

1/2 lb ground beef

1/2 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 egg, beaten

1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef (or your choice of meat), bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix well.

3. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

4. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until meatballs are browned.

5. Serve over cooked spaghetti noodles.

Note: You can also freeze the meatballs after cooking them. Just cool them down completely and place them in a freezer-safe container. They will last in the freezer for about 2-3 months.

What wine pairs with spaghetti meatballs?

glass of wineSpaghetti meatballs are perfect with a glass of cold wine! One of the most important things to consider when pairing wine with spaghetti meatballs is the sauce that is used. If a tomato-based sauce is used, then a red wine would be a good choice. Some good options include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Zinfandel. If a cream-based sauce is used, then a white wine would be a better option. Some good choices include Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, or Riesling.

Another thing to keep in mind is the type of meatball. If you are using a traditional beef and pork mixture, then a red wine would be a good choice. If you are using ground turkey or chicken, then a white wine would be a better option.

No matter what type of sauce or meat you are using, it is always important to taste the dish before choosing a wine. The wine should complement the flavors of the dish, not overpower them.

If you are looking for a specific wine to pair with spaghetti meatballs, here are some recommendations:

For red wines: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel

For white wines: Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Riesling
