Ingredients

  • 4 sticks (1 oz each) mozzarella string cheese, cut into 18 (3/4-inch) cubes
  • 1/2 cup Progresso™ Italian style bread crumbs
  • 1 jar (48 oz) tomato pasta sauce (any variety)
  • 1 1/2 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1 egg
  • 12 oz uncooked spaghetti
  • 2/3 cup shredded fresh Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Place cheese cubes in small resealable freezer plastic bag; seal bag and freeze at least 1 hour.
  2. Heat oven to 375 °F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil; spray foil with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix bread crumbs and 3 tablespoons of the pasta sauce. Stir in beef, onion, salt, oregano and egg. Shape mixture into 18 (2-inch) balls. Press 1 cheese cube into center of each ball, sealing it inside. Gently place in pan. Bake 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, pour remaining pasta sauce into 5-quart Dutch oven. Cover; heat to simmering over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Gently stir in meatballs; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until meatballs are thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in center.
  4. Meanwhile, cook and drain spaghetti as directed on package; keep warm.
  5. Serve meatballs and sauce over spaghetti. Serve with Parmesan cheese.
