Instructions
Make your beef meatballs
- Start by making your meatballs first. Combine all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Mix them together until you have a uniform meatball mixture.
- Then, make perfectly round meatballs using roughly a tablespoon of mixture for each. Place them on a lined baking tray as you finish rolling them.
- Finally, bake your meatballs in a preheated oven for 18-20 minutes at 400ºF (200ºC). Once they are finished baking, set them aside.
Make the secret sauce
- Next, move on to making your spaghetti sauce. Heat the olive oil in a medium pan and saute the onions for 3 minutes.
- Once they become translucent, add the garlic, sugar, tomato paste, and red pepper flakes. Then, give the mixture a good stir and allow them to cook over low-medium heat for a minute.
- Lastly, add your canned tomatoes and stir the ingredients well. Bring it to a simmer and allow it to cook for 15 minutes. Finally, season your tomato sauce with salt and pepper.
Assemble your spaghetti tacos
- Now we can move on to assembling your iCarly spaghetti tacos. To start, add your cooked pasta to your spaghetti sauce. Give them a good stir so that the spaghetti noodles are completely coated.
- Then, add some coated spaghetti noodles to the bottom of your taco shell.
- Follow this by adding your tasty roasted meatballs. Top each spaghetti and meatball taco with grated parmesan cheese and serve them immediately!
