I made this easy recipe when having some friends over on holidays. I was really flattered when one of them asked for the recipe, especially as he’s a bit of a fussy eater (we love him anyway :-P).

Ingredients… (makes 3 servings)

* Spiral Pasta (enough for 3)

* Garlic (pre-minced)

* Parsley to season (Tubed stuff from coles is awesome, brand ‘Gourmet Garden’)

* All-purpose seasoning (Masterfoods brand is good)

* Pre-cooked frozen meatballs (I recommend Colonial Farm Flamegrilled Meatballs, and no need to defrost before cooking. 6 meat balls per person is good.)

* Raguletto brand Pasta Sauce Red Wine & Garlic 500g

* Parmesan to garnish if desired

* Onion, diced, if desired (I didn’t use it this time around but have before)

Directions…

1. Boil water, get pasta cooking in pot. Stir occasionally, strain when done later.

2. Pan fry meatballs as on packet (12 mins is usually good). Season fairly generously with all-purpose seasoning whilst cooking. Add onion to pan to cook just before meatballs are done (e.g., about 2 mins) and fry as desired.

3. Once all on pan is cooked, pour the pasta sauce in the pan, stir, and mix in desired amount of parsley and garlic (about a teaspoon of each is good imo)

4. Simmer mix on med for a few minutes.

5. Serve meatballs + sauce over pasta.

6. Enjoy :-D
