Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Pasta, Supper

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large onion , ½ grated, ½ finely chopped
3 garlic cloves , crushed
400g beef mince
50g fresh breadcrumbs
3 tbsp milk
25g parmesan , finely grated
½ small bunch of parsley , finely chopped
3 tbsp olive oil
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
350g undefined
2 x 125g balls mozzarella , drained and cut into cubes

Steps:

  • Mix the grated onion, 1 crushed garlic clove, mince, breadcrumbs, milk, parmesan and parsley in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. Mash the mixture together with your hands until combined. Mould the mix into small balls (about walnut-sized) with damp hands. There will be about 20 meatballs.
  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a deep frying pan and fry the meatballs for 6-8 mins until golden brown all over. Fry in batches if you need to - they don't need to be cooked through, just browned on the outside. Set aside on a plate.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in the pan and fry the chopped onion for 5 mins until softened. Add the remaining garlic, fry for another minute, then add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 10 mins until thickened and the tomatoes have broken down. Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta for 5 mins less than the pack instructions state, in boiling salted water. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
  • Stir the meatballs into the tomato sauce, adding a splash of water if too thick, and bring to a simmer. Drain the pasta and tip into an ovenproof dish. Pour over the sauce and meatballs and mix well. Stir in most of the mozzarella, then scatter the remaining over the top. Bake for 15-20 mins until the cheese is golden and bubbling, and the top is slightly crisp.

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

12 ounces ground beef
12 ounces Italian sausage
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Splash of milk
1 large egg, beaten
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, for browning
Olive oil, as needed
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 yellow onion, chopped
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
One 12-ounce can tomato paste
2 cups hot water
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 pound ziti or mostaccioli pasta
16 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into cubes
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • For the meatballs: Add the ground beef, sausage, oats, Parmesan, parsley, dried oregano, milk, egg and some salt and pepper to a bowl and mix together well with your hands. Roll into approximately 48 meatballs (1 inch) and place on a baking sheet.
  • To brown the meatballs, heat some olive oil in a heavy pot or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in 3 batches and cook, turning, until brown, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels after each batch. Set the meatballs aside.
  • For the sauce: In a separate skillet or pot, heat some olive oil. Add the garlic and onion and cook until translucent, a few minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, hot water, parsley, sugar and some salt and pepper. Next, add the meatballs and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat for 20 minutes. Stir in the basil, then set aside to cool.
  • For the layering: Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta to al dente according to the package directions. Drain and set aside to cool.
  • To assemble: Spoon some cooled sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch dish. Layer on half of the pasta, half the sauce and meatballs and then half the mozzarella cubes. Repeat the layers once more and top the dish with the grated Parmesan.
  • If serving immediately, baked in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F until the cheese is golden and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly and serve.
  • If serving later, cover the assembled dish and refrigerate. When ready to serve, bake straight from the fridge in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F until the cheese is golden and bubbly, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool slightly and serve.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

Olive oil, for the baking dish
1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 pound ground beef (80-percent lean)
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cloves garlic, finely grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons olive oil

Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
One 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound dried fusilli
3 cups shredded mozzarella
1 cup grated Parmesan
1 cup fresh ricotta

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to broil on high. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil and coat lightly with oil.
  • Put the breadcrumbs in a large mixing bowl and pour the milk over the top. Stir to combine and let stand 5 minutes. Add the beef, pork, Parmesan, oregano, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and mix to combine with your hands. Add the egg and mix well to incorporate. Roll the mixture into 1 inch balls, arranging them in the prepared baking dish.

Season with salt and pepper.

Dollop the ricotta by spoonfuls onto the pasta. Top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until browned, about 15 minutes. Let the pasta stand about 10 minutes before serving.
