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).<\/p>\n

\"Pasta<\/a><\/p>\n

Ingredients… (makes 3 servings) <\/strong><\/p>\n

* Spiral Pasta (enough for 3)<\/p>\n

* Garlic (pre-minced)<\/p>\n

* Parsley to season (Tubed stuff from coles is awesome, brand ‘Gourmet Garden’)<\/p>\n

* All-purpose seasoning (Masterfoods brand is good)<\/p>\n

* Pre-cooked frozen meatballs (I recommend\u00c2\u00a0Colonial Farm Flamegrilled Meatballs, and no need to defrost before cooking. 6 meat balls per person is good.)<\/p>\n

* Raguletto brand Pasta Sauce Red Wine & Garlic 500g<\/p>\n

* Parmesan to garnish if desired<\/p>\n

* Onion, diced, if desired (I didn’t use it this time around but have before)<\/p>\n

Directions… <\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Boil water, get pasta cooking in pot. Stir occasionally, strain when done later.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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)<\/p>\n

4. Simmer mix on med for a few minutes.<\/p>\n

5. Serve meatballs + sauce over pasta.<\/p>\n

6. Enjoy :-D<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
