Pasta and Meatballs by: Chef Garion

What you need:
1 pound of lean ground beef
1 teaspoon dried italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 ounces dried pasta of your choice
2 cups pre-made pasta sauce
shredded parmesan cheese
cooking spray, or extra virgin olive oil



Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly coat a baking pan with cooking spray or olive oil, and put it aside. Fill a large pot halfway full of water, and bring it to a boil.





In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, italian seasoning, garlic, and salt together.





Use your hands to shape the mixture into about 24 1 inch meatballs.







Put the meatballs in the oiled baking pan, and then wash your hands with soap and warm water. Put the baking pan in the oven and bake the meatballs for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are no longer pink in the center.



In your large pot of boiling water, put in your pasta, stirring occasionally so that it doesn't stick. When everything is done cooking, have your grown-up helper drain the pasta and take the cooked meatballs out of the oven and mix them together.





Then you can add in the pasta sauce and mix it together again.

If you like, you can sprinkle it with parmesan cheese before serving with some garlic toast.
