Pasta w/ Melt in Your Mouth Meatballs

Orecchiette with Mini Chicken Meatballs

I love pairing the simple flavors of tomato, fresh basil, and mozzarella together.  This pasta dish has all three plus meatballs!  The meatballs are so moist and savory especially since they're made with ground chicken.  The mini mozzarella balls may be hard to find but Wegmans usually has them in their Mediterranean bar to buy in bulk.  I really wouldn't substitute another type of pasta because the orecchiette is so unique and starchy that it adds a nice texture to the dish.  The dish came out so good, that I asked my husband if I even looked the slightest bit Italian (I'm pretty sure that with my cooking style, I should not have been born a boiled meat and potatoes Irish girl).

About Little Murph

My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
