No Bake Nutella Balls (chocolate truffles)

Here’s a new favourite truffle I added to our Christmas cookie boxes this year. I’ll share with you how to make No Bake Nutella Balls covered in chocolate with a few sprinkles to make them look festive. These were so delicious. I had a hard time not eating all of them myself. You can crush the graham crackers yourself, but I just purchased a box of crumbs.

Persian Style Spaghetti


This is not your typical saucy spaghetti. Don't be afraid of the cinnamon and turmeric mentioned in the ingredients list - they add a very unique and delicious flavour to this dish. 

I didn't add any extra oil because the meat will release oil and juices as it cooks. If you find your pot is a little dry, you can certainly add a splash of olive oil.


Persian Style Spaghetti
Makes 8 servings

Ingredients
  • 8 cups cooked spaghetti noodles
  • 1.5 lbs lean ground beef
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 2 cloves chopped garlic
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 tsp dry oregano
  • 1/2 cup tomato paste
Directions
  1. Cook your pasta in a large nonstick pot according to package directions.
  2. Brown your meat in a pan and add the onions and garlic. Cook through.
  3. Sprinkle on the spices and stir in the tomato paste. You may add a few tablespoons of water to loosen it up a bit, but it should be thick. Simmer for a few minutes.
  4. Stir in the pasta and put everything into the pot that you used to cook the spaghetti. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and a lid, and cook on medium low for about 30 minutes.
  5. This is good with pickled veggies on the side. I also like parmesan cheese because cheese is my one true friend.
