Ingredients
Tomato sauce:
- 2 whole peeled tomatoes Italian, tins
- 1 white onion halved, large
- 40 – 60gms butter – depending on how many calories you are willing to sacrifice
- sea salt flakes good quality such as Maldon; a good few pinches
- black pepper
Meatball pasta part
- 250 tortellini pasta either cheese or spinach
- 400 -45 Italian sausage removed from casings and rolled into small meatballs
- 3 - 4 spinach baby leaves
- pinch chili flakes optional
- 1 mozzarella cheese ball form
- Parmesan Cheese to grate
Instructions
- Get the sauce on the go and allow that to cook for about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180C / 350 F
- Make your meatballs and fry these in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat until golden on all sides. They don't have to be cooked through. Remove from pan and drain if you want to take off any fat.
- Get your water to the boil and cook the tortellini according to the packet instructions.
- Once the tomato sauce has been cooking for about 40 minutes, add the meatballs, chilli flakes to the sauce and allow to bubble for about 5 minutes. Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper as necessary. Fold through the spinach until it is all wilted. Add the pasta and stir gently to combine.
- Decant into a buttered ovenproof dish and grate over Parmesan cheese (as much as you would like). Tear or slice the mozzarella into pieces to cover the surface. Bake for 20 minutes until starting to go golden and the cheese is bubbling. Serve with more Parmesan on the side.
