Ingredients

Serve With

  • 2 cup honeydew

Instructions

  • Prepare linguini as directed on package for al dente.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl mix the beef, Italian seasoning, egg and panko. Shape into meatballs approximately 1 inch in diameter. In a large skillet, heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil over medium. Add meatballs and cook 9-10 minutes or until no longer pink in the center, flipping to cook on all sides. (Covering the skillet will decrease cook time.)
  • Mince garlic and dice onion; set aside. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in another skillet over medium. Add onion and garlic to skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Stir in milk, cream and Parmesan and cook 1-2 minutes or until cheese has melted.
  • Add red peppers to onion mixture and puree with an immersion blender. (No immersion blender? Allow mixture to cool and add to a blender or food processor. Puree and return to skillet.) Add cooked pasta and stir to combine. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
  • Serve pasta topped with meatballs, and honeydew on the side.
