We are talking about Comfort Food Pasta Recipes today at #SundaySupper and I am sharing my Homemade Spaghetti Noodles with Stuffed Meatballs. These juicy, tasty meatballs, made with ground chuck, are stuffed with fresh chunks of mozzarella adding an amazing dimension of taste.
Unfortunately, my pasta maker fell off the table and broke as I was rolling out my pasta dough, so my homemade spaghetti noodles turned into store bought spaghetti noodles. But they are still delicious, and major comfort food!
Why is this comfort food for me? This recipe brings back lots of family memories of my husband, son and I enjoying this meal quite often when my son was a little boy and we all three had time to sit down to dinner together. It gives me feelings of warmth, happiness, and joy!

(makes 20-22 meatballs)
Meatballs
1/4 cup diced onion (small diced)
1/2 cup Italian Style Bread Crumbs
1/4 cup Half and Half
1 pound Ground Chuck
1/4 teaspoon Ground Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 Egg
Sauce
28 ounce can San Marzano Peeled Tomatoes
1 cup diced Onions
2 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Sugar
2 teaspoon Italian Medley (Mrs. Dash)
3/4 teaspoon Salt
Other Ingredients
Spaghetti
Parmesan Cheese, shredded
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Add diced onion, bread crumbs, half and half, ground chuck, pepper, salt, worcestershire sauce, and egg to a large bowl.
Use a spoon or your hands, to mix all ingredients together.
Cut approx. 1/4 of the mozzarella cheese off of the ball of cheese. Cut into slices and then cut into small cubes.
Use a 1 1/2" across the top scoop, and start scooping the ground chuck mix into balls. Place the balls on a cutting board, smashing them down a bit, like in the picture. Place a cube of cheese into the center of each meatball.
Form the meatballs around the cheese, encasing it in the ground chuck. Place in an ungreased pyrex type pan that is oven safe. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
While the meatballs are baking, make the sauce by mixing together the peeled tomatoes, diced onions, garlic, sugar, Italian Medley, and salt. As you are adding the ingredients crush the tomatoes with a spatula or spoon, as you are mixing them together. Heat on medium temperature.
Boil water and cook spaghetti according to package directions. Plate meal and sprinkle meatballs with parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
