Instructions

• STEP 1

  Fill a medium saucepan about halfway with water, cover, and bring to a boil.

• STEP 2

  Wash and dry the fresh produce.

  • ½ (5 oz) pkg baby spinach
  • ½ small bunch Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

• STEP 3

  Shave the parsley leaves off the stems; discard the stems and mince the leaves. Transfer half of the parsley to a medium bowl and the other half to a small bowl.

• STEP 4

  Peel and mince the onion.

  • ½ medium yellow onion

• STEP 5

  Peel and mince the garlic; transfer half of the onion and garlic to the medium bowl with the parsley and the other half to another small bowl.

  • 2 cloves garlic

• STEP 6

  Add the ground beef, bread crumbs, and spices to the medium bowl with the parsley, onion and garlic mixture. Mix with your hands until well combined.

  • ¾ lb lean ground beef
  • ⅛ cup panko bread crumbs
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • ⅛ tsp crushed red pepper

• STEP 7

  Preheat a sauté pan over medium heat.

• STEP 8

  Using a tablespoon measure, form the meat mixture into rounded meatballs.

• STEP 9

  Add olive oil to the pan and swirl to coat the bottom.

  • ½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• STEP 10

  Once the water is boiling, season with salt and add the pasta. Cook the pasta until desired firmness, 8 to 10 minutes. Once done, drain in a colander.

  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 5 oz (1 quarter coin = 2 oz) spaghetti pasta

• STEP 11

  Place the meatballs in the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and almost cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes total. Once done, transfer to a bowl or plate.

• STEP 12

  Once the meatballs have been transferred, add more olive oil to the pan, followed by the remaining onion and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened, 3 to 4 minutes.

  • ½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• STEP 13

  Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and spices to the pan. Return the meatballs to the pan, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.

  • ½ (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning

• STEP 14

  Finely grate ¼ cup of Parmesan.

  • ½ oz Parmesan cheese

• STEP 15

  Add the spinach to the sauce and fold in until it is wilted. Remove pan from the heat.

• STEP 16

  To serve, divide pasta between bowls, spoon the sauce and meatballs over top, and sprinkle with the remaining parsley and grated Parmesan. Enjoy!
