Dinner Tonight: Sriracha Marinara With Meatballs Recipe

1. 1

   Combine the meat, spinach, bread crumbs, egg whites, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix well by hand in a large bowl. Roll into about 20 meatballs, arrange on a baking sheet, and spray with oil. Alternatively, you can roll them individually in a small dish of oil to coat.

2. 2

   Preheat the broiler, then cook meatballs until golden brown, about 10 minutes, turning sheet once to ensure even cooking.

3. 3

   In the meantime, heat olive oil in a large, heavy pot over medium until shimmering. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes, then add garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Add tomatoes and sriracha and bring to a boil. Simmer 10 minutes, then add meatballs and continue simmering until they are cooked through.

4. 4

   Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water until al dente, reserving 1 cup of pasta water before draining. Drain pasta, add to sauce, and toss well to coat, adding pasta water if necessary to create a loose sauce. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
