Courgetti & Meatballs

Instructions

1. Place all of the ingredients for the sauce in a large saucepan over a medium-high heat. Bring to the boil before reducing to a simmer and allow to cook while you prepare everything else.
2. To make the meatballs, in a large bowl combine all of the ingredients and ensure that the mixture is well mixed.
3. Add in the meat and mix thoroughly. Line a baking tray with some parchment and begin to shape.
4. Next, shape the meat mixture into meatballs. This recipe yields 8–10.
5. Heat a large pan with your chosen oil, add 3-–4 meatballs to the pan and cook on high for 30–40 seconds before reducing the heat and placing a lid on top of them for 4 minutes; flip them over and repeat on the opposite side until fully cooked. Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside, while you cook you the remaining meatballs.
6. Heat a small pan with a drizzle of olive oil and lightly sauté the courgette for 2-3 minutes. (Alternatively, if you prefer a bit of crunch, you can leave it raw!) 
7. Place the courgetti on your plate and pile it high with your meatballs. 
8. Lastly pour over a generous helping of the tomato sauce, sprinkle with some fresh parsley, serve and enjoy.
