Classic Turkey Meatballs

with Spaghetti and Parmesan

Difficulty: 1/3
Italian

Our spaghetti and meatballs tastes just like Nonna's, but only takes a fraction of the time! The secret to these leaner meatballs is swapping ground beef for turkey and pairing with a homemade tomato sauce that keeps the dish flavorful.

Preparation
1
Prep

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (NOTE: Use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. While water comes to a boil, finely chop parsley.

2
Cook spaghetti

Add spaghetti to boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. When spaghetti is done, reserve 1/2 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain and return to the same pot, off heat.

3
Make meatballs

While the spaghetti cooks, combine turkey, breadcrumbs, half the Italian Seasoning, half the parsley, half the Parmesan, half the garlic puree, and 1/4 tsp salt (dbl for 4 ppl) in a large bowl. Season with pepper. Roll mixture into 8 meatballs (16 meatballs for 4 ppl).

4
Start meatballs and sauce

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then meatballs. Cook, turning meatballs often, until golden-brown on all sides, 2-3 min. (NOTE: You will finish cooking meatballs in step 5.) Transfer meatballs to a plate and set aside. Add 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions and remaining garlic puree to pan. Cook, stirring often, until onions soften, 2 min.

5
Finish sauce

Add tomato sauce base, broth concentrate, crushed tomatoes, remaining Italian Seasoning and reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper, then stir together. Reduce heat to medium and return meatballs to pan. Cook, stirring often, until sauce is slightly thickened and meatballs are cooked through, 3-4 min.\*\*

6
Finish and serve

Add sauce, spinach and meatballs to the large pot with spaghetti. Toss to coat, until spinach wilts, 1 min. Divide turkey meatball pasta between bowls. Sprinkle with remaining parsley and remaining Parmesan.
