How to Make Tagliatelle With Meatballs
- Prepare the Sauce: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 celery stalks, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add Garlic: Stir in 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Simmer the Sauce: Add one (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 cup dry red wine, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Make the Meatballs: In a large bowl, gently combine 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 egg, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, salt, and pepper to taste. Add 2 tablespoons of milk if needed to bind the mixture.
- Shape Meatballs: Roll the meat mixture into 12 meatballs (about 1.5 inches in diameter).
- Brown Meatballs: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. This step can be done in batches if needed.
- Combine Meatballs and Sauce: Add the browned meatballs to the simmering tomato sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of tagliatelle pasta and cook according to package directions, until al dente (about 8-10 minutes).
- Finish and Serve: Drain the pasta and add it to the pan with the meatballs and sauce. Toss gently to combine. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
