Meatballs With Capellini Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Luisascatering / All my dishes 9 months ago I wanted a meatballs and pasta dish, but without the typical red sauce. These meatballs are unique and have a very delicate texture. They are also DELICIOUS :-) The white truffle oil isn't really necessary, but it does add a special flavor and aroma!

Ingredients

For Meatballs:

1 small shallot, minced

1 large clove garlic , chopped

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 pound organic ground beef (85/15)

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 egg

1 1/2 tablespoons double concentrated tomato paste (in tube)

1 tablespoon madeira wine (or port)

Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, freshly grated

1/2 cup fresh ciabatta bread crumbs

For Pasta:

2 tablespoons butter

1 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup Parmesan

2 tablespoons white truffle oil

cooked capellini/angel hair pasta (enough for 4 servings)

Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper

Fresh oregano leaves

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

To make meatballs: Saute shallot and garlic in olive oil and let cool. Combine all ingredients together and mix well. Scoop into 2-ounce meatballs and shape by hand. Place on a sheet pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover with foil to keep warm.

For Pasta: Melt the butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Turn heat up to high and add heavy cream. Turn off heat once the cream starts to boil and thicken. Whisk in cheese. Gently mix the cream sauce and the truffle oil with the pasta and season with salt and pepper.

To assemble: Place a pile of pasta in the middle of plate. Place 4 meatballs around the pasta and garnish with small or torn oregano leaves.

Hi Luisa! I agree with you re: the tomato sauce ...the older I get the less interested I am in tomato sauce-based pasta dishes. Same with stuffed cabbage...if it has tomato sauce in it, I pass by the recipe. Any, I digress...your recipe looks very flavorful, and Madeira and white truffle oil grabbed my attention. Thanks!
