1 egg
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
For the creamy sauce:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh spinach
1 tbsp butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
For the pasta:
12 oz spaghetti

Instructions:
Make the meatballs:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, parmesan, egg, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Roll the mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs and place them on a baking sheet.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs for 3-4 minutes on all sides, then transfer them to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked.
Cook the pasta:
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Make the creamy sauce:
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream, bring to a simmer, and cook for 3-4 minutes until it thickens.
Add the spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Stir in the parmesan cheese, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the dish:
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the creamy sauce.
Top with the baked meatballs and serve immediately.
Enjoy your creamy meatball pasta with spinach!
