In a large bowl, combine beef, pork, egg, Panko, Parmesan, bruschetta seasoning mix; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined. Roll the mixture into 1 1/4-to-1 1/2-inch meatballs, forming about 18-20 meatballs.
8 oz 80/20 ground beef, 8 oz ground pork, 1 large egg, ¼ cup bread crumbs, ¼ cup parmesan cheese, 1 tbsp Italian Bruschetta Seasoning Mix, salt
Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before cooking.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9×9 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.
1 tbsp olive oil
Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add meatballs, in batches, and cook until all sides are browned, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well and stir in marinara sauce.
12 oz spaghetti, 3 cups marinara sauce
Add pasta to the prepared baking dish and top with meatballs; sprinkle with mozzarella. Place into oven and bake until bubbly and heated through, about 15-20 minutes.
2 cups mozzarella cheese
Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
