Ingredients | Healthy Meatball Pasta Bake Recipe

½ pound lean ground beef

½ pound bulk Italian sausage

⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

⅓ cup seasoned bread crumbs

¼ cup milk

1 egg

2 tablespoons dried parsley

1 clove garlic, minced

⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

2 tablespoons minced onion

1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

1 tablespoon butter

1 large carrot, chopped

2 stalks celery, chopped

¾ cup chopped yellow onion

7 cups beef stock

2 tablespoons Italian-style tomato paste

1 (14.5 ounce) can chopped tomatoes

½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

6 ounces uncooked tri-color wagon wheel pasta

Directions

Mix together in a bowl the ground beef, sausage, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, milk, egg, parsley, garlic, pepper, and onion. Roll into small meatballs, about 1 to 2 teaspoons each. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown meatballs in batches and drain on paper towels, wiping out pan between batches and adding more oil as needed.

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, and onion and cook until slightly softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in the meatballs, stock, tomato paste, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes. Skim fat from surface.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain. Cover and set aside.
