Mediterranean Pasta with Pork Meatballs

I have been craving for pork meatballs and the Spanish style ones that I make with pork are delicious. I also LOVE ground pork and use it all of the time. So there.

Need:
Meatballs-
Ground pork
grated onion
chunk of old bread
milk
1 egg
paprika
cumin
garlic powder
s+p

Pasta-
angel hair pasta
boiling, salted water
tomatoes
chopped onions
chopped garlic
baby kale
butter
olive oil
paprika
garlic powder
s+p

 

Preheat oven to 400°. Tear up old bread and pour some milk into it.

 

Squish bread and milk together. Sick.

 

In a mixing bowl, add ground pork, bread (squeeze out milk), an egg, grated onion, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, s+p. Mix well. If a little wet, add some dried bread crumbs too (I had some panko on hand, luckily).

 

Make balls. Not too big. Pop into oven for 25-30 min.

 

Chop all of your veggies for pasta. Italian flag colors. :)

 

Olive oil in a pan, add garlic and onion and saute on medium.

 

Add tomatoes.

 

Add paprika, garlic powder, s+p.

 

Add baby kale. Notice a theme of me using what's in the fridge? Remember the kale in the pasta from the other day? I just liked the green and I don't have any herbs. Also, kale is good for you. So there.

 

When pasta is cooked, add from water directly into sauteed vegetables. That's how they do it in restaurants. Seriously. Also, add a tbsp of butter to this and stir around because it tastes awesome.

 

Parmesan and chili flakes as needed. Always lots of chili flakes needed.

 

Oh shi-et... and it was good.
