Ingredients
3/4 lb. ground beef
1/2 lb. spaghetti
2 c. marinara sauce
2 tubes crescent dough
1 1/2 c. shredded mozzarella
1/2 c. finely chopped onion
1/3 c. bread crumbs (preferably Italian)
1/4 c. plus 2 tbsp. grated parmesan, divided
1/4 c. chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Add ground beef, onion, bread crumbs, ¼ cup Parmesan, parsley, egg and garlic to a large bowl, mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Form mixture into small meatballs (about 1”) and place on baking sheet. Drizzle with oil.
- Bake until mostly cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain.
- Prepare a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Unroll crescent rolls and piece together like a sun shape, slightly overlapping, on the parchment.
- Top with spaghetti, then nestle baked meatballs on top. Spoon about 1 cup marinara sauce over meatballs and spaghetti, then sprinkle mozzarella on top. Gently roll up.
- Brush tops of crescents with olive oil, then sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
- Bake until crescents are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with more parsley. Serve warm with marinara for dipping.
