Skillet-Baked Spaghetti And Meatballs
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large garlic clove finely chopped
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs soft
- 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon shallot finely chopped
- sea salt to taste
- ground black pepper freshly, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups crushed tomatoes from a 28-oz can
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano divided
- 1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes dried
- 6 ounces thin spaghetti
- 6 ounces fresh mozzarella thinly sliced
- Preheat the broiler.
- Place the ground beef and next 5 ingredients (through shallot) in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Mix lightly to combine and form the mixture into 12 equal meatballs (about 1-3/4 inches in diameter).
- Heat a large, ovenproof skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the meatballs and cook, turning until lightly browned on all sides, 6-7 minutes total.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and chile flakes and season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the meatballs are tender and just cooked through, 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in boiling, salted water until al dente, 5 minutes. Drain. Stir into the sauce and spread the mixture evenly in the skillet.
- Arrange cheese slices on top and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon of dried oregano.
- Transfer the skillet to the broiler and broil until the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown, 4-5 minutes. Remove and let rest 5 minutes.
- Divide among 4 plates and serve.
