Meatball Pizza
Meatballs:
1/2 lb. ground meat, I used turkey
1 egg
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1.5 tablespoons bread crumbs
1.5 tablespoons grated cheese (parmesan, pecorino, romano, etc.)
1.5 tablespoons ketchup
1.5 tablespoons grated onion
3 garlic cloves, grated
4 basil leaves, chopped
salt and pepperPreheat oven to 350°
Generously grease a baking sheet with olive oil or olive oil spray. Mix all ingredients together and form into mini-meatballs. You should have roughly 15 meatballs. Bake for 20-25 minutes, I pulled mine at the 22/23 minute mark. If working with poultry, you want to make sure they’re cooked through.
Pizza:
1/2 a sweet onion, sliced
1/2 a yellow bell pepper, sliced (any bell pepper would work well)
1-2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1-2 tablespoons basil, chopped
your favorite jarred or homemade marinara sauce
1 pizza dough, homemade or pre-made.. I used a whole wheat dough from Trader Joe’sWhile the meatballs are cooking, heat some olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for 8-10 minutes.
While the onions are cooking, sprinkle some cornmeal on a pizza stone and rub a rolling pin with some olive oil. Roll the pizza dough into a circle.. a “rustic” circle like mine will do just fine!
Once the onions have cooked for 8-10 minutes, add the bell pepper and cook for 3-5 more minutes. Remove from heat.
Grate your cheese, chop your herbs, etc. until the meatballs are finished.
To assemble: Ladle and spread marinara sauce on the pizza dough, add the meatballs and brush each one with a bit of sauce. Fill in the rest of the dough with the onions and peppers and top it all with the mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle half of the parsley and basil over the dough and bake at 375° for 12-18 minutes. Top finished pizza with the remaining chopped parsley and basil.

Spaghetti and Meatballs
For the Marinara
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 large yellow onions, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
4 medium stalks celery, chopped
4 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
2 (32-ounce) cans San Marzano crushed tomatoes
2 (32-ounce) cans San Marzano whole tomatoes
2 dried bay leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to tasteFor the Meatballs 2 pounds ground beef
1 pound Italian sausage, removed from casing
4 ounces Parmigiano-Reggianno cheese, cut into small chunks
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
1 slice of white bread
1/4 cup dried bread crumbs
1 extra large egg
3 Tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup dry red wine
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour for dredging
Extra virgin olive oil for cookingSpaghettini or pasta of your choice, cooked according to package directions
For the Marinara
In a large dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions with a pinch of kosher salt and sauté until soft and translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Add the garlic, celery, and carrots and sauté for another 8-10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the tomatoes and bay leaves. Partially cover over and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and completely cooked through, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Allow the sauce to cool slightly. Using a hand held immersion blender or a food processor, blend the sauce until smooth. Allow to cool completely, cover and refrigerate overnight. The next day, remove the lid and bring the sauce to a slow simmer while you prepare the meatballs.For the Meatballs
In the bowl of a food processor with the machine running, drop through the feed tube the garlic, cheese, and parsley. Process until the cheese is finely grated. Add the slice of bread and process until fine crumbs. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and blend well with the beef, sausage, bread crumbs, egg, tomato paste, red wine, salt and black pepper. Shape the mixture into 2-inch balls (I use a 2-ounce ice cream scoop), about 48 meatballs. Dredge the meatballs in the flour, shaking off the excess. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add about 1/4 of the meatballs and cook until the meatballs are browned on all sides, but not cooked through. Transfer the meatballs to the sauce and continue with the remaining meatballs adding extra oil as needed. Cook the meatballs in the sauce, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced, darkened in color, and thickened, about 3-4 hours. Allow the sauce to cool completely, cover and refrigerate overnight.Uncover the pan and bring the sauce to a low simmer or until heated through. Serve over your favorite pasta. Enjoy!
*makes about 4 quarts of sauce and 4 dozen meatballs*
