These Carbs Don't Count
June 4, 2025
This Classic Spaghetti & Meatballs recipe is the ultimate comfort food straight from a nostalgic family kitchen. A perfect blend of ground beef and sausage or turkey is seasoned generously, then combined with eggs, milk, Parmesan, and breadcrumbs for ultra-tender meatballs. Pan-fried until browned and simmered in tomato sauce, these meatballs soak up flavor while staying juicy inside. Served over perfectly cooked spaghetti and finished with loads of Parmesan, it’s a cozy, crowd-pleasing favorite.
