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.
