Spinach Dip-Stuffed Meatballs

Ingredients:

8 oz cream cheese
¼ cup cooked spinach
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 cup shredded mozzarella
½ lb ground beef
½ lb ground pork
1 large egg
¼ cup parsley
½ cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp pepper
2 cups marinara sauce
½ lb cooked fettuccine, or your favorite pasta

Directions:

Mix cream cheese, spinach, garlic powder, and mozzarella until smooth.

Mix ground beef, pork, egg, parsley, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper until evenly combined. Take a golf ball-sized handful of the meatball mixture and press it flat in the palm of your hand. Place a spoonful of the spinach dip in the center of the meat and fold the edges over the dip, sealing it and rolling into a ball. Repeat with the remaining meat and dip.

In a pan over medium-high heat, sear meatballs for about a minute, then flip.
Add the marinara sauce and mix. Cook for about 15 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through and sauce is thick. Serve with fettuccine and enjoy!
