Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
MARINARA
- In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat, and add the onion and green pepper. Cook until the onion is translucent (about 5-10 minutes).
- Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste into the pan. Season with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer spaghetti sauce for 20 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
MEATBALLS
- While sauce is simmering, cook the meatballs.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, beaten egg, parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix together until just combined.
- In a medium bowl, combine the milk, breadcrumbs, garlic, and onion.
- Add milk mixture to the meat mixture being careful not to overwork ingredients.
- Form into 1-inch meatballs, greasing hands before starting to keep the meat from sticking, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place in preheated oven and roast until the outsides are browned and they read 165°F on a meat thermometer (about 25 minutes).
- Prepare noodles according to package directions. Drain water and place noodles back into the pan. Drizzle with olive oil, toss to coat, and cover until ready to plate the dish.
- When the baked meatballs are done, add to the spaghetti sauce. Toss to coat.
- Serve over cooked noodles.
