Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp Vera Cruz Chili Infused Olive Oil
- 1 Small Onion, diced small
- 3 Cloves Garlic, minced
- ¼ cup Red Wine
- 28 oz Petite Diced Tomatoes
- 2 Tbsp Miscgulio Italian Dried Herb Blend
- 1 tsp Sriracha Flake Sea Salt
- ½ lb Ground Pork or Italian Sausage
- ½ lb Ground Beef
- 1 Large Egg Yolk
- 2 Tbsp Miscuglio Italian Dried Herb Blend
- ½ Large Shallot, diced small
- 1 Clove Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Sriracha Flake Sea Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 2 tsp Vera Cruz Chili Infused Olive Oil
- 1 Pasta Rock
- 1 Package Farro Spaghetti
- ¼ cup Parmesan, finely grated
- 2 Tbsp Parsley
Directions
- In a large sauté pan, heat 3 Tbsp Vera Cruz Chili Infused Olive Oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-6 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add red wine and scrape the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium then add tomatoes, Miscuglio Italian Dried Herb Blend, and Sriracha Flake Sea Salt.
- Cover sauté pan, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
- While the sauce simmers, make the meatballs. Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, combine all the meatball ingredients except for the 2 tsp Vera Cruz Chili Infused Olive Oil into a bowl.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and form meatballs about the size of a golf ball. Space evenly on the sheet pan and drizzle with the 2 tsp Vera Cruz Chili Infused Olive Oil. Bake for 17-20 minutes or until meatballs are cooked all the way through.
- As the sauce simmers and meatballs bake, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add a pasta rock for 2 minutes to salt your water then remove. Add the Farro Spaghetti, stir well, and cook according to package directions.
- To serve, plate your desired portion of spaghetti, sauce, and meatballs. Top with grated parmesan and parsley.
