Ground Pork Meatballs with Spaghetti

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Queen City Farm pastured ground pork
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 jar (24 oz) marinara
  • 1 lb spaghetti

Directions

  1. 1

    Mix the pork, breadcrumbs, egg, parmesan, garlic, parsley, and salt and roll into 1.5-inch meatballs.

  2. 2

    Brown the meatballs in a skillet, turning, until golden all over.

  3. 3

    Add the marinara, cover, and simmer 15-20 minutes, until cooked through.

  4. 4

    Serve over cooked spaghetti with parmesan.

Notes

Farm tip: Mix gently and don't pack the meatballs tight — they'll stay tender. Simmering in the sauce keeps them juicy.

Serving suggestion: Serve over spaghetti with garlic bread.
