CHEESY, MEATBALL, VEGGIE CASSEROLE



Cheesy, Meatball, Veggie Casserole image

My SO is trying to cut down on carbs and I'm not,so I wanted to come up with a recipe that both of us would enjoy.If desired, you can brown the meatballs for a better flavor.The time for browning the meatballs isn't included in the cooking time. The "ZAAR" database doesn't have the carb count for the meatballs, and the vegetable blend, so my SO and I figured the amount of carbs for 6 servings would be 13 grams for each serving. So if you decide to try this, I hope you enjoy.Submitted to "ZAAR" on June 2,2008.

CHEESY MEATBALL CASSEROLE



Cheesy Meatball Casserole image

This cheesy meatball casserole is a family favorite, with basil adding flavor to the meatballs and grated onion adding moisture. Melted mozzarella cheese tames the spice, but feel free to cut back or eliminate the crushed red pepper if you prefer a milder dish.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

16 ounces whole-wheat fusilli pasta
1 (24 ounce) jar lower-sodium marinara sauce, divided
1 pound 90%-lean ground beef
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
¼ cup grated sweet onion
¼ cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
1 large egg
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 cups shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add pasta; cook until the center of the pasta is still somewhat firm, about 4 minutes less than package directions. Drain the pasta and transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Add half of marinara sauce to the pasta and stir to coat.
  • Combine ground beef, panko, onion, basil, egg, Italian seasoning, salt and crushed red pepper in a large bowl; gently mix with your hands (do not overmix). Form the mixture into 16 (about 1 1/2-inch) meatballs, nestling the meatballs into the pasta mixture as you work. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the casserole and top with cheese.
  • Bake until a thermometer inserted into the meatballs registers at least 160°F and the cheese is lightly browned, 35 to 40 minutes. Garnish with basil, if desired.

4 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
½ cup parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 cup italian bread crumbs
