Zing up your usual pasta and meatballs with this Latin twist on an Italian staple.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 (7 ounce) can minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, or to taste
- 1 bunch green onions, minced
- ¼ cup bread crumbs
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder, or to taste
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt, or to taste
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper, or to taste
- 1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
- 1 (15 ounce) can spaghetti sauce
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
Step 2
Mix the ground beef, chipotle peppers with the adobo sauce, green onions, bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until evenly mixed. Roll the mixture into balls the size of cherry tomatoes. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 30 minutes.
Step 4
While the meatballs bake, bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and return to a boil. Cook until tender but still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
Step 5
Pour the spaghetti sauce in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook until hot, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the cooked meatballs and stir to coat. Ladle over the drained spaghetti and top with the grated Parmesan cheese to serve.
