ingredients

  • Sarteneja Pasta Sauce
IN STOCK
  • 250g Spaghetti
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • Galmesan cheese
IN STOCK
  • FOR THE MEATBALLS
  • 75g stale bread
  • 50ml milk
  • 50g flour
  • 125g minced beef
  • 125g minced pork
  • 1 medium egg
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

Method:

  1. To make the meatballs, cover the bread with milk and leave to soak for 10 minutes. 
  2. Strain the breadcrumbs, squeeze out the excess milk and place the crumbs in a mixing bowl. 
  3. Sprinkle the flour onto a deep plate. Add the minced meats, egg, garlic, parsley, pine nuts, nutmeg, salt and pepper to the bowl and mix well. Form into around 10 balls just smaller than a golf ball (around 40g each).
  4. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a frying pan. Add the meatballs and fry until golden.
  5. Pour in the pasta sauce. Half fill the jar with water and add to the frying pan.
  6. Simmer the meatballs in the pasta sauce while you prepare the spaghetti. Cook the pasta for 8 mins, then transfer it, using tongs, to the sauce.
  7. Stir through the sauce and serve straight away with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and a grating of Galmesan cheese.
