Lamb and Spaghetti Primavera
Earthy lamb meatballs are a perfect pairing with a simple spaghetti and tomato sauce.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound ground American Lamb
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups meatless spaghetti sauce
- 1-1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 1 small zucchini, cut lengthwise and sliced
- 8 ounces spaghetti or linguine, cooked and kept warm
- Shredded Asiago or Parmesan cheese
Directions
- In a bowl, combine lamb, Parmesan cheese and garlic powder; mix well. Form in 24, 3/4-inch balls.
- Meanwhile, heat spaghetti sauce in a large saucepan with cover. Add meatballs to sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and zucchini; cook an additional 6 to 8 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
- Ladle meatballs and sauce over pasta. Serve with shredded cheese.
Cooking Lamb: Lamb should be juicy and tender when cooked. Tender lamb cuts can be prepared using dry heat - roasting, broiling, grilling, pan-broiling and pan-frying. Less tender cuts are best prepared using moist heat - braising and stewing.
