Ingredients
- 1 pound rigatoni
- Parmesan Cheese grated
For Meatballs
- 1 pound ground pork lean
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- ¾ cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 2 teaspoons dried dill
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
For Arrabbiata Sauce
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 cup red wine I used Merlot
- 19 ounce crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce I used Sriracha sauce but any hot sauce would work
- 10 leaves fresh basil chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉. Place parchment paper over a baking sheet or spray it with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl mix all the ingredients for the meatballs together well. Form the meatballs into small 1 inch balls. Mine were pretty small so I got about 60 meatballs. Place meatballs on prepared baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes or until done.
- In a Dutch oven or a large pot heat the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes or until onion is soft and starts to brown a bit, make sure you don't burn it though. Stir in the dried oregano and red chili flakes. Add the wine and cook for another 5 minutes until the alcohol burns off a bit.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, hot sauce, basil leaves and season with salt and pepper. Turn the heat down to medium-low and let this simmer for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes you can start cooking the rigatoni according to package instructions. If you like your pasta al dente cook it for 2 minutes less than indicated on the package.
- Add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Pour the sauce and meatballs over the rigatoni, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese and basil over and serve.

Notes
- The meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 – 4 days or up to 3 months in the freezer.
- This spicy, fiery tomato sauce will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days and in the freezer for up 3 months. Pull the sauce from the freezer the day before you’d like to use it to allow it to thaw fully before reheating on the stove.
