Si Bella, today-a we make-a the meat-a balls.
Um...yeah, I still can't speak a word of Italian, but that's okay, you don't have to be Italian to make this dish!
Omg, I'm on such a blogging ball xD.
Italian Meatballs
You will need:
Approx 600 grams extra lean minced beef
3 tbsps of breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1 extra large portabella mushroom, sliced.
1 1/2 cups your favourite tomato based pasta sauce, I used Ragu xD.
A few sprigs of coriander/basil.
1 tbsp minced garlic
Olive oil
Dry mixed Italian spices
Salt and Pepper to taste.
La Methode
- Add everything to the minced meat and mix well.
- Mix, mix, mix.
- Put frying pan on your stove and put heat to medium.
- Form balls about 1" diameter wide, drop them into the pan as you go along. It took me 2 batches to finish.
- Flip 'em!I used chopsticks xD.
- Once they're nicely browned, remove from pan and set aside. Don't wash the pan yet!!
- Saute mushrooms in the juices leftover from the meatballs.
- Add the meatballs back into the pan with the mushrooms.
- Add the pasta sauce and coriander/bail.
- Serve over pasta of your choice.
