Spaghetti with Meatballs in a Creamy Garlic Sauce

Instructions

Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, egg, 3 cloves of minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the remaining 3 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Stir in the heavy cream and chicken or beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until it’s melted and the sauce has thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat it with the creamy garlic sauce.

Serve the spaghetti topped with the meatballs and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.

This creamy garlic spaghetti with meatballs makes for a hearty and satisfying meal that’s perfect for a cozy dinner at home. Enjoy!
