Albóndigas en salsa de tomate
No hay nada ostentoso ni complicado acerca de esta receta, y eso es exactamente lo qué me encanta! esto es comida reconfortante al máximo. Tiene ese feeling de hecho en casa, de receta casera que lo hace reconfortante. Esto es todo lo que necesita después de un largo Lunes! ¿no le parece? Además esta receta tiene ingredientes sencillos y es rápida de hacer. Cuando usted sabe que se va a hacer esta, sólo saque la carne del congelador y póngala en la nevera la noche anterior, y por la mañana antes de salir para el trabajo, sazone bien y guarde en la nevera hasta que regrese a casa desde el trabajo.
Ingredients
- 1 libra de espaguetis
- 1/2 libra de carne de cerdo molida
- 1/2 libra de carne de res molida
- 1 cebolla rallada
- 1 taza pan rallado fresco
- 1 / 2 taza de parmesano finamente rallado
- Sal y pimienta recién molida
- 1 cucharada aceite de oliva
- Para la salsa:
- 2 latas de tomates enteros pelados
- 2 dientes de ajo majado
- 1 cebolla en cuadritos
- 1 hoja de laurel
- 2 cucharadita de azúcar
- Virutas de parmesano
Instructions
- Combine las carnes, cebolla, pan rallado y queso parmesano en un tazón. Sazone con sal y pimienta. Divida la mezcla en pequeñas bolas. Calentar el aceite en un gran sartén a fuego medio-alto. Añadir las albóndigas y cocinar, dando vuelta, por 3-4 minutos hasta que estén bien doradas. Añadir la salsa de cocción y 1 / 2 taza (125 ml) de agua a la sartén. Cocine a fuego lento, parcialmente tapado, durante 15-20 minutos hasta que las albóndigas estén cocidas. Agregue el azúcar.
- Mientras tanto, cocer los espaguetis en una olla de agua hirviendo según las instrucciones del paquete o hasta que estén al dente. Drenaje. Añadir las albóndigas y la salsa para el espagueti y revuelva suavemente para mezclar.
- Sirva con queso parmesano.
Para mi el truco de esta receta está en el pan rallado y el queso que se le agrega a la carne, se logra unas albóndigas jugosas y llenas de sabor. Si tiene una olla de cocimiento lento en su casa, puede incluso poner en temperatura baja, los ingredientes de la salsa antes de irse a trabajar, la salsa estaría lista cuando regrese.
¡Sean felices cocinando!

I just made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner Friday night! It was a cold night and we had just finished a little Xmas shopping. I didn’t want to eat out so thought of doing meatballs for dinner (plus we were at The Fresh Market and they just put out the most beautiful freshly ground chuck). I love eating pasta with saucy meatballs when it’s cold outside. Total comfort food! GOOD EATS 🙂
