Serves: 4
Preparation time: 10 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
- Break each chevapchichi in half and shape into a ball.
- Heat oil in a deep pan and gently sauté meatballs, garlic and onion for 2-3 minutes or till meatballs have some colour.
