#Spaghetti With Bacon Meatballs #Recipe

Cook Time: 25 min

Prep Time: 15 min

Ingredients

( Serves 4 )

1 whole small onion (very coarsely chopped)

3 slices bacon (very coarsely chopped)

2 whole garlic cloves (peeled)

1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

1 pound ground beef chuck

1/2 cup grated Parmesan (2 oz.; plus more, shaved, for serving)

3 tablespoon bread crumbs

1 whole large egg

pinch kosher salt and black pepper

12 ounce spaghetti (3/4 box)

3 cup marinara sauce

Directions

Heat broiler.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta.
In a food processor, combine the onion, bacon, garlic, and parsley; pulse until finely chopped, 10 to 15 times.
Transfer to a medium bowl, add the beef, Parmesan, bread crumbs, egg, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper, and mix gently to combine.
Form the beef mixture into 16 meatballs (about 2 tablespoons each) and place on a foil-lined broilerproof rimmed baking sheet.
Broil, turning once, until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
Heat the marinara sauce in a large skillet over medium heat, 2 to 3 minutes; add the meatballs and toss gently to coat.
Serve over the pasta and sprinkle with the shaved Parmesan.
