15 Minute Sausage Meatballs
Ingredients
- Olive oil1 tbsp
- Sausage700 g
- Garlic2
- Chicken stock¾ cups
- Passata700 g
- Italian seasoning · dried½ tsp
- Salt½ tsp
- Chili flake · flakes¼ tsp
- Basil1 sprig
- Parmesan cheese
- Pasta350 g
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan over high heat. Add the meatballs and stir for 4 to 5 minutes until lightly browned but still raw inside.
- Add the garlic and stir for just 15 seconds until light golden, taking care not to burn it.
- Add the stock and simmer rapidly for 1 minute to reduce by half.
- Add the passata, dried herbs, salt, red pepper flakes if using, and basil stalk. Stir, bring to a simmer, then lower to medium-high and simmer energetically (not wildly) for 4 minutes.
- Remove the basil stalk if you prefer. Serve with plenty of Parmesan and torn basil leaves over pasta, polenta, mash, or in subs.
- To serve with pasta, add cooked pasta and 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water to the pan. Toss over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce coats the pasta and the pasta is stained red rather than pooled in the pan. Divide between bowls.
