Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add pasta; cook until the center of the pasta is still somewhat firm, about 4 minutes less than package directions. Drain the pasta and transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Add half of marinara sauce to the pasta and stir to coat.
  2. Combine ground beef, panko, onion, basil, egg, Italian seasoning, salt and crushed red pepper in a large bowl; gently mix with your hands (do not overmix). Form the mixture into 16 (about 1 1/2-inch) meatballs, nestling the meatballs into the pasta mixture as you work. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the casserole and top with cheese.
  3. Bake until a thermometer inserted into the meatballs registers at least 160°F and the cheese is lightly browned, 35 to 40 minutes. Garnish with basil, if desired.

  1. Coat each slice of cheese with some of the egg white mixture. Dip slices in the panko and roll until coated. Set slices on a rack and chill in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the salad.
  2. Heat a small skillet and add the walnuts. Cook until lightly toasted, stirring a few times. Once you smell the nuts toasting, remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
  3. Prepare the vinaigrette in the bottom of a large salad bowl. First, warm the honey in a microwave for several seconds. To the salad bowl, add the vinegar and whisk in the mustard, honey and optional salt and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and whisk again.
  4. Add the greens to the vinaigrette and toss. Stem and halve the figs. Add the figs and toasted walnuts to the salad and gently toss.
  5. Using a medium-sized skillet, heat the butter and remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the goat cheese slices and cook until lightly browned on both sides.
  6. Serve individual portions of the salad. Top each plate with 2-4 slices of the toasted goat cheese. Serve
