A recipe from a National Supermarket chain as part of feed your family (based on 4 serves) dinner for $10 or less (that is aussie dollars and based on local prices for produce or chain specials at time of publication. Times are estimated. Though recipes recommends 500 grams of spaghetti I would only use about 350 grams for us and serve with a side salad of greens, tomatoes etc. Ingredients:
750 g ground beef (minced beef) |
400 g diced tomatoes (canned) |
500 g spaghetti |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon parsley (chopped) |
1 onion (finely chopped) |
1 garlic clove (about 3/4-1 teaspoon finely minced) |
salt (to taste) |
pepper (freshly ground to taste) |
4 tablespoons oil (for frying) |
Directions:
1. Combine mince, egg and chopped parsley in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
2. Roll mixture into small balls.
3. Cook spaghetti according to manufacturers instructions.
4. Heat pan and 2 tablespoons oil and fry meatballs for approximately 3 minutes until nearly cooked through and set aside, cook in batches if needed, when completed clean pan.
5. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and saute onion and garlic in oil for 3 minutes, add diced tomatoes and meatballs, them simmer for 5 minutes.
6. Serve meatball and sauce over the spaghetti.
7. Personally would serve with a green/tossed salad.
8. ALTERNATIVE TO COOK MEATBALLS - Roll mince and place into an alfoil line baking dish and bake at 175C (fan forced) for about 8 to 12 minutes and follow instructions from step 5.
