This take-off on spaghetti and meatballs uses rice-shaped pasta, ground lamb, and feta cheese. Some kids may prefer a milder cheese such as shredded mozzarella. Break apart the meatballs before serving to younger children to make the meatballs easier to eat.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°.
Step 2
Combine breadcrumbs, next 5 ingredients, and 1 1/2 tablespoons parsley in a medium bowl. Add egg whites, stirring mixture until just combined. Shape mixture into 12 (1 1/2-inch) meatballs; cover and chill meatballs 5 minutes.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs to pan; cook 8 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Drain well; wipe pan clean with paper towels. Return meatballs to pan. Spoon marinara sauce over meatballs; sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 375° for 12 to 13 minutes or until meatballs are done. Sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons parsley.
