Ingredients
-
1 pound ground beef chuck
-
½ cup panko bread crumbs
-
¼ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
-
1 egg white
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
-
3 ½ fluid ounces extra-virgin olive oil
-
¾ cup sliced white button mushrooms
-
5 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 ½ teaspoons red pepper flakes
-
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
-
2 fresh tomatoes, diced
-
salt to taste
-
2 teaspoons white sugar
-
1 (16 ounce) box penne pasta
-
¼ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Directions
-
Mix beef, panko, 1/4 cup parsley, egg white, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until combined. Form mixture into 12 meatballs.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet; pan-fry meatballs in hot oil until browned on all sides, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove meatballs from heat.
-
Heat olive oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven or a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir mushrooms in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and add garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until garlic is golden, about 5 minutes more. Stir canned and fresh tomatoes into mushrooms and season with salt.
-
Drop meatballs into tomato sauce and stir in sugar; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until sauce is reduced and meatballs are no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain pasta.
-
Stir penne pasta into meatball sauce; toss to coat. Stir pasta water into mixture if sauce becomes too dry. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup parsley to serve.
