Ingredients
Spaghetti and Meatballs
- 2 cups Marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 TBSP Milk
- 8 oz Ground beef
- 1/2 tsp Dried oregano
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 4 oz Spaghetti (or pasta of your choice)
- 4 tsp Parmesan cheese grated
Arakas Latheros
- 2 oz Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 Onion finely diced
- 1 1/2 cups Green peas
- 1/2 TBSP Tomato paste
- 4 oz Water
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 TBSP Fresh dill
White Wine
- 8 oz White wine chilled
Instructions
- Heat the sauce: Warm the marinara sauce in a pot over low heat until it reaches a simmer.
- Make the meatballs: In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, milk, ground beef, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined. Form into equally sized meatballs using your hands.
- Sear the meatballs: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches without crowding and sear until nicely browned (about 3 minutes per side).
- Simmer in sauce: Transfer the browned meatballs to the pot with marinara sauce. Partially cover with a lid, stir occasionally, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Cook the pasta: Boil a pot of salted water. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain well.
- Assemble the dish: Remove the sauce from the heat. Serve the meatballs over the pasta, ladle sauce over top, and garnish with parmesan cheese. Serve with toasted Italian bread.
- Make the arakas latheros: In a saucepan, heat olive oil and sauté the onion for 2–3 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Add the green peas and stir to coat in oil. Stir in tomato paste for 1 minute, then add water, salt, and pepper.
- Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Add the fresh dill and continue simmering for 5–10 more minutes, until the peas are soft and most of the water has evaporated.
- Serve: Plate the spaghetti and meatballs with a side of arakas latheros, and white wine.
