Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat your oven to bake at 400 degrees F, and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add your sauce and half and half to a medium size pot, and heat over medium heat. Stir to combine the half and half into the sauce. Once the sauce comes to a bubble, turn it down to simmer.
Heat a medium size pot with water on the stove to cook the pasta.
Add the ground beef to a medium size mixing bowl.
Add the finely diced onion, parsley, and parm to the bowl with the beef.
Pulse the two slices of bread in a mini chop food processor to make your bread crumbs, and then add them to the bowl.
Add the Primal Palate Adobo Seasoning to the bowl.
Mix to evenly combine all of the ingredients into the ground beef. I use my hands for this.
Form the meatballs into 1 inch size meatballs, and place them onto your baking sheet about 1-2 inches apart.
Bake the meatballs in the oven for about 20 minutes, so they get browned on the outside.
After 20 minutes, transfer them to your sauce simmering on the stovetop.
Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packaging, and then drain.
You can either serve the sauce and meatballs over the pasta, or you can add the pasta to the pot with the sauce, and stir it to combine.
Serve topped with extra parm if desired, and enjoy.
