Pasta & Meatballs

These meatballs coated in garlic butter will transport you to Italy after just one bite!

Using a combination of ground beef, Italian sausage, and a variety of seasonings, these meatballs are savory and flavorful. In this recipe, we’re replacing traditional spaghetti with a more unique casarecce noodle, but feel free to use whatever pasta shape you have handy.

What truly sets this recipe apart from others is our Marinara Pasta Sauce. The elegant flavor profile featuring black winter truffles elevates this dish into a new, elegant, version of pasta and meatballs!

Instructions

  1. Place ground beef, ground sausage, oregano, basil, parmesan, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper in a bowl and combine until blended.

  2. Portion the mixture and roll into meatballs.

  3. Refrigerate the raw meatballs until ready to use.

  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet.

  5. Once hot, add the meatballs to the skillet, and sear on all sides until deeply browned, about one to two minutes per side.

  6. Add the butter and garlic to the skillet, reduce heat, and cook for two to three minutes, coating the meatballs in the garlic butter.

  7. Add TRUFF Marinara Pasta Sauce and diced tomatoes, stir to combine with the meatballs, and bring to a low simmer.

  8. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.

  9. Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil.
