Stuffed Saucy Meatballs & Pasta Total recipe time: 45 minutes Makes 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
  2. 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  3. 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  4. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 2 1 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano, divided
  6. 1 teaspoon salt
  7. 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  8. 12 small balls fresh mozzarella cheese (about 1/3 ounce each)
  9. 1 jar (25 to 26 ounces) red pepper pasta sauce or other pasta sauce
  10. Hot cooked spaghetti rigati or linguine
  11. Fresh oregano sprigs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400°F. Combine ground beef, eggs, bread crumbs, garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped oregano, salt and pepper in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Divide mixture into 12 equal portions. Lightly shape into patties. Place 1 mozzarella ball in center of each patty. Shape beef around cheese until completely enclosed inside forming meatballs.

  2. Meanwhile, heat pasta sauce in large saucepan until hot, stirring occasionally. Add meatballs and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
