Instructions

1
Cook the spaghetti
While the water heats and the spaghetti cooks, prepare the meatballs.
2
Prep the meatballs
- In a large bowl, combine the panko and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] water or milk (from your pantry).
- Peel and finely chop the onion. Set aside all but ¼ cup [½ cup] onion for the sauce.
- Cut a small corner from the ground beef packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
3
Brown the meatballs
While the meatballs brown, prepare the mushrooms.
4
Prep the mushrooms; finish the meatballs and sauce
- Coarsely chop the mushrooms.
Add the meatballs, herbed marinara, and reserved pasta cooking water and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in the spaghetti, toss to coat, and cook until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
When the meatballs and sauce are almost done, prepare the salad.
