Sausage Meatball pasta

Information

Prep: 5 mins | Cook time: 10 mins | Serves: 2

Ingredients list

  • 3 Pork and fennel sausages
  • 4 cups fresh pasta
  • 1 cup Tomberry tomatoes
  • 1.5 cups store-bought Napoli sauce (I used Otway)
  • 1 spring onion (chopped)
  • Fresh basil (for serving)
  • Grated Manchego cheese (for serving)

Method

  • Cook the fresh pasta in a pot of boiling water until al dente.
  • Make a small incision at the tip of the raw sausage. Hold the sausage over a hot frying pan and squeeze the meat out in golf-ball sized chunks, letting them drop directly into the pan.
  • Dry-fry the sausage meatballs until the fat has rendered and the meatballs are browned.
  • Once browned, add about a cup of Napoli sauce and stir to combine. If the sauce needs thickening, add a splash of pasta water.
  • To serve, top the sauce with chopped spring onion, fresh basil, and grated Manchego cheese.
