Spaghetti & Meatball Kit

Chef Nic is taking the much-loved spaghetti & meatballs to another level! The smooth and silky house tomato sauce is made be slowly cooking ripe plum tomatoes with garlic, basil, shallots, and a splash of white wine, and the giant six-ounce beef & pork meatballs are stuffed with plenty of gooey mozzarella! It’s comforting on every level, and pairs perfectly with a glass of cabernet sauvignon. And garlic bread is included on the side!

After chef Nic Bryon was laid off from his job at one of Tampa’s trendiest restaurants at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, he teamed up with his brother Greg and translated his love for all things pasta into Pasta Packs. Each Pasta Pack includes everything you need to enjoy a handmade pasta experience in the comfort of your own home, from fresh handmade pasta to slow-cooked sauces to fresh proteins, each in their own sealed packs, along with step-by-step cooking instructions.

To Serve

• If frozen, thaw frozen sauce packs and protein packs overnight in the refrigerator. Pasta can remain frozen until ready to cook.
• Begin by preheating the oven to 425 F.
• While the oven preheats, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
• When the oven has reached 425 degrees, open the meatball pack and tomato sauce pack. Place the 2 meatballs in the baking pan and add the contents of the sauce pack, making sure to fully cover (but not submerge) the meatballs with the sauce. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake the meatballs for 20 minutes.
• Open Pasta Pack and add pasta to the boiling water, stirring often. Pasta will need to cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente.
• After approx. 3-4 minutes (7-8 minutes, if frozen), check one of the noodles for al dente texture.
• Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the pasta to a bowl and set aside. Try not to transfer too much water from pasta – a little is okay.
• These next few minutes give you a chance to pour a glass of wine and turn on your favorite relaxing playlist; set the vibe.
• When the meatballs have baked for 20 minutes, carefully remove foil from the pan. Check the meatballs – there should be a slight ooze of cheese. Carefully scoop out the meatballs one at a time and set aside.
• Gently add pasta to the baking dish and mix with sauce to coat evenly. Season with salt & pepper as desired.
• Time to taste the dish! You should be tasting the sweetness and acidity from the silky tomato sauce paired with the juiciness of the cheese-filled meatball.
• Begin to plate your pasta. Remember to twist & twirl for presentation.
• Take a picture to share with your friends and family. Remember to tag Pasta Packs on Instagram or Facebook. Enjoy!
