The Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 large egg
• 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh basil
• 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
• 3/4 cup Jackson's Sea Salt Sweet Potato Chips
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 lb spaghetti
• 32 oz jar Marinara sauce

Directions:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350ºF. 

Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, basil, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic, and water. Add the ground beef, chips, and cheese. Mix until just combined.

Step 3: Roll the mixture into golf-sized meatballs and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, flip, and repeat on the opposite side until they are nicely browned and almost cooked through.

Step 4: Bring the marinara sauce to a simmer in a large skillet. Place the meatballs in the marinara sauce. Cover with a lid and let simmer for around 10 minutes. 

Step 5: While the meatballs are cooking, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente.

Step 6: Drain, then toss with the sauce and meatballs. Top with Parmesan cheese and enjoy!
