Number Of Ingredients 13

8 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup cooked spinach
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
1 large egg
1/4 cup parsley
1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cups marinara sauce
1/2 lb cooked fettuccine, or your favorite pasta

Steps:

Mix cream cheese, spinach, garlic powder, and mozzarella until smooth.
Mix ground beef, pork, egg, parsley, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper until evenly combined. Take a golf ball-sized handful of the meatball mixture and press it flat in the palm of your hand. Place a spoonful of the spinach dip in the center of the meat and fold the edges over the dip, sealing it and rolling into a ball. Repeat with the remaining meat and dip.
In a pan over medium-high heat, sear meatballs for about a minute, then flip.
Add the marinara sauce and mix. Cook for about 15 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through and sauce is thick. Serve with fettuccine and enjoy!
