Meat Free Meatballs In Marinara Sauce Recipes

MEATLESS MEATBALLS IN MARINARA SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, onion, parsley, garlic, tamari, salt, pepper, oregano and red-pepper flakes, if using, and mix well. Add plant-based beef, and blend with your hands until well mixed. Cover mixture and chill for at least an hour or up to 24 hours. (It's easiest to form the meatballs when the mixture is very cold.)
• Heat the broiler. Form 28 meatballs, each about 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Transfer meatballs to one or two rimmed baking sheets, and drizzle with olive oil.
• Broil meatballs until golden and firm, 7 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat marinara sauce in a pot. Serve meatballs with sauce on top, showered with cheese if you like and drizzled with a little more olive oil.

MEATBALLS WITH MARINARA

Steps:

• For the marinara sauce: Coat a large saucepot with olive oil and add the pancetta. Bring the pot to a medium-high heat and cook the pancetta for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onions, season generously with salt and stir to coat with olive oil. Cook the onions for 6 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently. The onions should become very soft and aromatic but have no color. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Pulse to combine the tomatoes in a food processor. Add the tomatoes to the pot and rinse out 1 of the empty tomato cans with water and add that water to the pot (about 2 to 3 cups). Season generously with salt and TASTE IT!!!! Tomatoes take a lot of salt. Season in baby steps and taste every step of the way. Cook the sauce for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally and tasting frequently.
• Use the sauce right away on pasta or for any other tomato sauce need. This sauce can also be cooled and stored in the refrigerator for a few days and freezes really well.
• For the meatballs: Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, add the onions and bring to a medium-high heat. Season the onions generously with salt and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes. The onions should be very soft and aromatic but have no color. Add the garlic and the crushed red pepper and saute for another 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off heat and allow to cool.
• In a large bowl combine the meats, eggs, Parmigiano, parsley and breadcrumbs. It works well to squish the mixture with your hands. Add the onion mixture and season generously with salt and squish some more. Add 1/2 cup water and do 1 final really good squish. The mixture should be quite wet. Test the seasoning of the mix by making a mini hamburger size patty and cooking it. The mixture should taste really good! If it doesn't it is probably missing salt. Add more. Add more anyway.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Shape the meat into desired size. Some people like 'em big and some people like 'em small. I prefer meatballs slightly larger than a golf ball. Place them on a cookie sheet and bake them for about 15 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked all the way through. If using right away, add them to your big pot of marinara sauce. If not using right away, they can be frozen for later use. Serve with pasta and sauce or just eat them straight out of the pot! Top with fresh ricotta cheese, garnish with chopped pickles and chives and serve with grilled garlic bread. YUM!

Steps:

• For the balls: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F with a rack in the center of the oven. Heat a large pot of water for pasta. Line a baking sheet with foil and top with parchment paper.
• Put plant-based meat in a large bowl. Put panko in a small bowl and moisten with milk or half-and-half. Put the egg in small bowl and beat lightly. To the plant-based meat, add egg, moistened panko, cheese, salt, red pepper flakes, oregano, fennel pollen, granulated onion, garlic, parsley and a drizzle of EVOO (see Cook's Note) and mix together with your hands. Roll 24 balls slightly larger than golf balls and place on baking sheet. Roast 15 to 17 minutes to golden and remove from the oven.
• For the sauce: Meanwhile, heat a cast-iron enamel Dutch oven or large saucepan over low heat with EVOO, add garlic, red pepper flakes, fennel pollen and oregano, grate in the onion and stir. Add wine, raise the heat and cook 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, passata or puree and a sprinkle of sugar and salt, bring to bubble, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.
• For the pasta: While sauce simmers the last 8 minutes or so, salt boiling water and cook pasta a minute or so less than directions. Reserve about 3/4 cup salty water, drain pasta and add back to hot pot. Add half the salty water, butter or EVOO, cheese and about two-thirds of the sauce. Toss pasta and adjust seasonings. Add roasted balls to remaining sauce.
• Serve pasta in a large family-style bowl or in shallow individual bowls topped with balls and basil. Pass more cheese and red pepper at the table.
• For the salad dressing: Whisk to combine vinegar, sugar, granulated garlic, granulated onion, dried oregano, dried thyme, fennel pollen and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil, season with salt and whisk until well combined.
• For the "clean out the fridge" salad: Place the lettuce, onion, celery, baby carrots and radishes (or whatever salad ingredients you have in your fridge) in a large salad bowl. When ready to serve, season with salt, drizzle dressing over salad and toss to combine.

Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce is slightly thickened, about 45 minutes. Add the basil, oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 1 minute more.
• Make the meatballs: In a mixing bowl, combine the beef, veal and pork. Add the eggs, cheese, parsley and minced garlic, then salt and pepper as desired. Add the bread crumbs and mix well. Slowly add up to 2 cups water, 1/2 cup at a time, until the mixture is moist; all the water may not be needed. Shape into 1 1/2 -inch meatballs.
• Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the smashed garlic and sauté until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes, then discard the garlic. Working in batches and taking care not to crowd the pan, add meatballs and fry until undersides are brown and slightly crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn and brown the other sides, about 5 minutes more. Transfer cooked meatballs to paper towels to drain, then add to the marinara sauce. Mix gently and serve.
