- The meatballs are juicy with a light crust, and the spaghetti absorbs so much flavour whilst it cooks in the tomato ragu. This is a winning dinner with minimal washing up!

Ingredients:
Meatballs
500 g (1.1lb) minced beef I prefer to use a higher fat mince (12-20%) for more flavour
1/2 a large onion peeled and finely chopped
1 egg
3 tbsp grated parmesan
3 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp unsalted butter
Sauce
1/2 a large onion peeled and finely chopped
2 celery sticks chopped
2 garlic cloves peeled and minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
400 g (14 oz) tin of finely chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato puree (paste for USA)
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp light brown sugar
1 beef stock cube crumbled
600 ml (2 ½ cups) just-boiled water
200 g (7oz) dried spaghetti
To Serve:
shaved or grated parmesan
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Place the minced beef, chopped onion, egg, parmesan, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper into a large bowl.
2. Mix together using your hands, then form the mixture into 16-20 meatballs.
3. Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan (skillet) and add in the meatballs. Cook for 5-6 minutes on a medium-to-high heat, turning two or three times, until the meatballs are browned all over. They don't need to be fully cooked at this point, as they'll cook further in the sauce.
4. Now we start adding the sauce ingredients to the pan. Move the meatballs to one side of the pan (or just make a bit of a space). Add the onion, celery, garlic, salt and pepper.
5. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring the vegetables a few times, until the onions start to soften.
6. Add in the tin of tomatoes, tomato puree, thyme, brown sugar, crumbled stock cube and the just-boiled water. Stir everything together and bring the sauce to the boil.
7. Make a bit of space in the pan and add in the pasta (break in half if it’s too big to fit in your pan). Ensure the pasta is fully submerged in the sauce.
8. Turn the heat down to low, place a lid on and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring a couple of times, until the pasta is cooked. You will need to separate the pasta with a set of tongs to stop it sticking together when you come to stir it. Add in another splash of boiling water during cooking if required.
9. When the pasta is cooked, turn off the heat and divide the spaghetti between 4 bowls, using a set of tongs. Spoon the meatballs and sauce on top.
10 .Finish with a little shaved parmesan and chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
Can I make it ahead?
Yes, you can make ahead, but note: the pasta will absorb more of the liquid as it cools.If you did want to make ahead:
Cook the dish, then cool quickly. Place in a covered container and refrigerate for up to two days.
Take out of the refrigerator about an hour before reheating to take the chill off the meatballs.
Reheat in a pan with a lid over a low-to-medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring a few times during reheating, until piping hot throughout. You will probably need to add a splash of boiling water to loosen the sauce a little.
Can I freeze it?
Yes, leftovers can be cooled, placed in a covered container and frozen.Defrost overnight at room temperature, then reheat as per the instructions above.
Want to change it up?
If you make this recipe a lot and want to change it up every now and then, try:
Adding a teaspoon of chilli flakes or a tablespoon or sriracha to the sauce for a spicy version.
Add 4 tablespoons of double (heavy) cream to the sauce, once the pasta is cooked, for a creamy tomato version.
Top the finished dish with halved cherry tomatoes, a drizzle of pesto and some basil leaves for a fresh Summer version.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Cajun spice on the meatballs when frying, then add in chopped chorizo with the onions and celery for a Tex-Mex twist.

Can anyone spot Chris's reflection? 🤭😍
I think I saw his reflection in the oven 😂😂
barely on the oven. Had to go back and watch again though. Lol
Bad Man Chris ...
I think he is doing an amazing job ! That's 50% of the team right there !! You both are amazing 👏
I commend you Nikki for using affordable and easily-available ingredients in your cooking. So many cooks use ingredients not readily available to the average person and often at quite a high cost, but you always keep it real with a beef stock cube etc - credit to you. Another fantastic dish. x
Thank you so much!
That's the only part I don't like. I'm just gonna buy broth and add, but I'm unsure of the measurements in comparison.
@@jessicablackmore8447one stock cube makes one cup/250ml of broth.
If she put one in the recipe, use 1 cup.
Simples.
I love the simplicity of your recipes! They are fantastic, full of flavor and doesn't cost a fortune! Thanks for your inspiration!!
Will definitely make thank you! I love crowd pleasers like this that are minimum fuss, especially on a week night when I often can't be bothered cooking!
Good to see an actual one-pan recipe that uses just one pan. Many "One pan" videos end up using like 5 pans!
Just done this for the family and it’s an instant hit. They’re already asking when they can have it again.
Hello Nicki, another one of your special delicious meals. These one pot dinners are so versatile and economic. Any person wishing to learn how to cook will benefit much watching your videos. Not only will they learn how to cook but also how to eat nutritious meals. Love your style, easy and sophisticated. Take care, go well. Kind regards.
Winning dinner is right. Just made this and although I normally don't like snapping long spaghetti in half - in this dish it's the only way to get it to fit in a wide frying pan and simmer to soft al-dente state. It was a superb meal and I served it with broccoli and steamed freshly podded broad beans. A very refreshing change from the ubiquitous spag bol. Did you know that Italians have never heard of Spaghetti Bolognese not even in Bologne it's an American invention. Anyhow thank you for this great recipe - it's one to save for sure.
Everything you cook is absolutely perfect for a family. Those meatballs look absolutely delicious. Thanks for all the work you do and for the posting. Sending love to you from PEI Canada, home of Anne of Green Gables and lobster. ❤️🇨🇦🦞
Thanks so much
whole family lmao. as a dude whos living by himself in a 1 bedroom appartment, im eating this whole thing for my future family
😂😂😂
I made this recipe tonight Nikki. My family absolutely loved it. Quick, healthy and very tasty after a long day at work. Keep these recipes coming. Love Sharon x
I've just made this for dinner. Followed it to the letter and it was so good. A definite keeper ♥
Quick and easy very informative without that extra fluff.... first video I've seen on your channel definitely will not be the last.
Love your recipes Nicki. Simple, straightforward, and tasty.
Ps....a splash of Lea & Perrins (can't spell or pronounce Worcestershire 🙄) would just give those meatballs a bit of zip
Please keep uploading videos......I absolutely adore them
'Wooster', with a short 'oo' sound.
Love how you say you cant spell it then spell it correctly
Yum! And that looks like a dish I could pull off! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Lovely dish looks delicious as always 👍
I'm a big follower of this page and only just discovered this recipe! Cooked it at the weekend and I have to say, it's the best best meatballs and Spaghetti I've cooked 😋🤌🏿
It's so cool, I'm from Brazil and that recipe is wonderful, thanks for shared.
Back to this for the second time as requested by the children! Thank you 😊
Hi Nicki.
I'll Be Making This Tonight For The Family Dinner Tonight.
I Like All Your Recipes So Much.
10 Out Of 10.
That looks really good!
Done it tonight, delish! Hadn’t got spaghetti but used a different one. Thanks!
Love it. 1 pan. Spot on. Thursdays tea is sorted!
What a great dish for a winter's night supper. Definitely will try this. Seeing you roll the walnut sized meatballs reminded me of a very funny recipe method description in a book on Indian Curries where the translation produced a good laugh - it said "Now roll the meat into little balls with floured hands the size of large walnuts" just a little grammatical swap round caused a really hilarious image! Someone corrected this in later publications!
Your voice is so charming! “Until the onions are lovely.” I just made a Cajun pasta and boiled the noodles in a seafood stock with cream. They are tender and a sovereign the sauce far better than when we make sauce and pasta in separate vessels. The beauty of cast iron!
Great (and easy) recipe, great presentation and a lovely smile to boot! What's not to like? Many thanks for another quality upload.
What an amazing woman! Thanks for using the average man ingredients and not some weird named hard to find spices.
Thank you for this wonderful recipe ma’am. Never in my mind how it can be so easy and quick with many great ideas in doing it!
Hello Nikki, your chanel is underrated. Your recipies are awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I follow your technique and it worked perfectly ❤ Much Love and thanks you
Great recipe but am I the only one whose onions never ever soften in 3 minutes? At least 10 minutes to soften the onions
Made this recipe and it's really good. thank you!
Yep, spotted chris in there with you….thank you so much for another awesome recipe. Much love ❤❤
Super! ❤👍
🤗
I am one of those (possibly) nerds who consider cutting up your spagetti on the plate is a Capital offence so this makes much more sense to me than breaking the Spagetti in two in an Instant Pot for instance.
I am assuming of course that a Dried Noodle Nest or few can be substituted.
Excellent. Thank you
Loved it
Yay thank you
Looks great!
The meatballs , always the meatballs , but it keeps the Bosses happy !
make sure the mince is cold out of the fridge, it will bind much easier
Looks delicious Nikki, one of my favourites as well, so I will be doing it very soon. 👍
Im cooking this tonight...been on the schedule last few days but been poorlys
Thanks Sally
Looks amazing. But no Celery I can't stand it lol. Also 4 dishes... More like 2 in our house. We love the stuff. Another quality video.
I love this woman!!!❤
It looks fabulous! ❤️
Great recipe .... Awesome chef 😍
I do a similar recipe, except with turkey mince instead of beef and roasted red pepper instead of celery.
Thank you for the video!
Got the wife to make this tonight
Lovely ❤️
Looks good will give them a go soon Thank,s
Can you please share what pan your are using to cook this dish? Also what are your go to pots and pans for cooking. Thanks!
Thanks Nicki. You treat us like adults. I'm tired of cooking channels that laboriously show us how to chop an onion/carrot etc. We KNOW. You,Nicki, just get on with it. Thanks again.
Maybe I’m old fashioned but I don’t mind using a separate pot of water to boil the pasta in. Making everything in one pot makes the whole dish too starchy imo.
Looks great but why water not stock?
Ok. I've been to the UK, I know their food is terrible. However, she just assured me that the whole country is lost when it comes to the culinary arts. If they have a British-like accent, just ignore it.
omit the onions and add garlic and parsley instead even better. In Italy you would have the meatballs after the pasta with some salad!
Where’s the garlic, oregano and basil?
You certainly can add them if you wanted too. A few fresh basil leaves instead of the parsley would work. :)
I wish you tied back all that hair !!
She has beautiful hair, but definitely should be tied back whilst cooking.
Without the celery,,,,bellissimo
Ohhhh,,your hair,,its beautiful,,,very ful and etc etc etc
