#RRCOOKINGCAMP | SPAGHETTI AND ROASTED IMPOSSIBALLS WITH RACHAEL RAY

Exploring all the PASTA-bilities 🍝 w a veg-friendly take on Spaghetti + Meatballs 🙌🏻 with our Camp Director Rachael Ray! #RRCookingCamp

-----
Spaghetti and Roasted Impossiballs
Makes 24 balls / 1lb of pasta will feed 4-6 people

For the Tomato-Basil Sauce:

2 tablespoons EVOO, extra virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, plus some extra to toss the pasta
2 tablespoons butter, plus some extra to toss the pasta
4 cloves garlic, thin sliced, crushed or grated
Salt
2, 28 ounce cans whole San Marzano tomatoes
1 jar (24 ounces) tomato passata, or 3 cups of tomato puree
A big handful of basil leaves, torn
Sprinkle of sugar, optional

1. Place a large sauce pot over medium low to medium heat, add oil and butter. Stir in the garlic, season with salt and cook for 1-2 minutes or until very fragrant, making sure not to burn the garlic.

2. Add in the tomatoes and passata, stir, bring to a light bubble, lower the heat a bit, add in half of torn basil and sprinkle of sugar if you like a sweeter sauce and let cook for about 20-30 minutes.

For the Roasted Impossiballs:
2 packs (12 ozs each), 24 ounces plant-based meat, or ground sirloin 80/20 blend
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (if using ground beef, use 1 cup)
3 Tablespoons whole milk (1/3 cup if using more breadcrumbs)
1 egg
2 cups parmigiano and/or pecorino romano cheese, store-bought, grated and loosely packed
1/2 cup (a big handful) flat-leaf parsley, loosely packed and then fine chopped
1 teaspoon dry ground oregano, about 1/3 palmful
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, about 1/3 palmful, optional
1 teaspoon fennel seed or fennel pollen, about 1/3 palmful
Kosher salt

1. Place plant-based meat in a big mixing bowl.

2. Place breadcrumbs in a small bowl and moisten with the milk.

3. Crack the egg into another small bowl and scramble.

4. To the bowl of plant-based meat, add the moistened breadcrumb, egg, 1 cup of the cheese, parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes if using, fennel seed and season with salt. Mix together and score into 4 equal size portions. Each quarter should give you about 6 balls.

5. Place the balls on a foil and parchment lined baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray. Place in the oven and roast until lightly brown, about 15 minutes (for plant-based meat) or closer to 18 minutes (if using real meat). Remove and let rest.

For the Pasta:
1 box of Barilla® Spaghetti or Linguine
(1 pound will feed 4-6 people and 1 1/2 pounds will feed closer to 8 people)

1. When you are ready to cook the pasta, generously salt the water and add pasta. Have a heat-proof cup or mug near the pot to reserve some of the starchy cooking water. For al dente pasta, remove the pasta from the pot 1 minute before the package directions say to do so and drain.

2. Add the pasta back to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons total of butter and/or EVOO to the pasta along with the remaining cup of cheese and some pasta water.

3. Add about half of the tomato-basil sauce and stir vigorously with tongs to emulsify the sauce to the pasta.

4. Add the meatballs to the remaining sauce in the pot and stir to coat. Plate the pasta family-style or serve in shallow bowls. Top with the meatballs, more sauce and remaining basil and pass more cheese at the table.

Thank you Rach. I love your personal videos. I am sorry so many commenters on this video are so critical; usually they are not bc I watch a lot of them. Why don't they just watch another video, among the scads of people who we don't know who just want to make a YT vid. Most of the unknowns just seem fly-by-night. If anything, I told my stoner BF he should make a video of how to roll a pinner or a big fat one-he's a pro & has been doing it for at least 54 years.

I fear I cannot watch this one given what Whole Foods says about veggie meats

[Giondenver]

just could not watch with that awful shaking of the camera....

I love Rachael Ray! My love for cooking stemmed from 30 minute meals growing up. Now as a 33 year old I still appreciate the way she teaches as she goes.

You can spay with cooking spay and the honey or corn syrup it will slide out. You can also spray spatulas to make sticky stuff slide. Plus a scoop sprayed is great too. Cookies etc.
