Ready to get cooking? Hereโs what to do.
Step 1:
Set your oven to 350 degrees to preheat. Then, place your ground beef in a bowl and add in the spices (thyme, rosemary, chili powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper). Mix until evenly combined.
Step 2:
Separate your uncooked spaghetti noodles into four even portions. Do the same with the ground beef. Next, wrap the meat around the center of the noodles, forming it with your hands (the ends of the noodles should be sticking out).
For a demonstration, Scrumdiddlyumptious shows you how in the video below!
*Do this process four times, using one portion of ground beef and one portion of noodles each time.
Step 3:
Add your oil to a large metal casserole dish that can be used both on the stovetop, as well as in the oven. Once the oil is heated, set your spaghetti portions in the dish and begin cooking the meat.
*Be sure to flip when necessary.
Step 4:
Now youโre going to add the garlic, onion, and peppers to the dish โ and lightly sautee. Then evenly pour the red wine on top, and cover everything with your tomato sauce. Lastly, sprinkle on the shredded cheese.
Step 5:
Place your dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. All you have to do now is just get excited to serve your spaghetti and meatballs in a clever way!
