Spaghetti and Cheats Meatballs
This simple Spaghetti and Cheats Meatballs is a favourite in our house, especially as I can cook it and have it on the table within 30 minutes - perfect for when you have three ‘hangry’ kids in the house!
Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 6 sausages
- 2 cloves garlic - crushed
- 1 brown onion - grated or finely chopped
- 1 zucchini - grated or finely chopped
- 525 gram jar of Heinz Pasta Sauce - Tomato and Basil
- pinch of salt and pepper
- 200 grams spaghetti - dry
Instructions
- Cook the pasta as per the packet instructions.
- In the meantime, add the olive oil to the frying pan and heat over a medium heat. Cut the ends of the sausages and squeeze out the meat (directly into the frying pan) to form little meatballs.
- Add the grated onion and crushed garlic and cook for 3 minutes or until the onion begins to turn translucent.Add the grated zucchini and cook for a further 3 minutes - tossing the sausage 'meatballs' regularly to ensure they are brown on each side.
- Reduce the heat slightly and add the Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce and a pinch of pepper before cooking for a further 3 - 4 minutes or until the sausage meatballs are cooked through.
- Use a pair of tongs to carefully transfer the cooked pasta directly into the frying pan and gently toss it through the sauce mixture to coat.
- Divide between serving bowls and serve with parmesan cheese.
