One pot spaghetti and meatballs

Serves: 4
Preparation time:  10 minutes
Cooking time:  15 minutes

Ingredients

500 g Olga’s Fine Foods chevapchichi
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 small onion, peeled and sliced
1 x 400g can cherry tomatoes with sauce
1 cup vegetable stock
500g thin spaghetti
1 cup basil leaves
salt and cracked black pepper to taste
2 tbsp grated pecorino cheese to garnish

Method

  1. Break each chevapchichi in half and shape into a ball.
  2. Heat oil in a deep pan and gently sauté meatballs, garlic and onion for 2-3 minutes or till meatballs have some colour.
  3. Add cherry tomatoes and stock to the pot; cover with a tight fitting lid and bring to the boil.
  4. Add spaghetti and reduce heat to a slow simmer, keeping covered, for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Most of the liquid will be absorbed.
