Sorry I,ve taken so long to get back to you...... Here,s the recipe
CHICKEN MEATBALLS with SPAGETTI ******************************** 1 Ib minced chicken 1 /3 cup grated parmesan 2 cups fresh breadcrumbs 2 cloves garlic crushed 1 egg freshly ground pepper 1 Tbls flat leaf parsley 1 Tbls chopped fresh sage 3 Tbls olive oil
TOMATOE SAUCE ************** 1 tBLS OLIVE OIL 1 onion chopped 4 Lbs ripe tomatoes,peeled,seeded and chopped 3 cloves garlic crushed 2 bay leaves 1 cup basil leaves 1/2 tsp sugar 1 tsp freshly ground pepper1 Lb spagetti
Meatballs ********* In a bowl mix together mince parmesan breadcrumbs egg pepper herbs
Shape into small balls and chill for 30 mins to firm up Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry the balls in batches til golden brown.Drain to absorb oil.
Sauce ******* Saute onion and garlic in oil til just soft and add chopped tomatoes,sugar and bayleaves,cover bring to boil,reduce heat and simmer for about 50 mins (**make sauce before meatballs**)
Add meatballs basil leaves(torn finely) and pepper to tomatoe sauce and simmer gently for another 10 mins til heated through. Cook spagetti whilst reheating meatballs in sauce so it should all be ready together. Serve with extra parmesan in a bowl. Enjoy it Julie
The sauce is very versatile and forms the basis for all my toamatoe sauces for pasta.I often make a big batch and freeze,oh and you can puree it as well just remember to take the bay leaves out!!!!
