Ingredients
600 grams chevapchichi sausages (spiced miced meat with no skins).
1 large brown onion, diced.
4 cloves of garlic, crushed.
800 grams tinned diced tomatoes.
400 gram tin tomato puree.
2 tablespoons dried basil.
2 tablespoons dried parsley.
1 beef stock cube.
1 tablespoon of olive oil.
400 grams dried spaghetti or fettucine
Method
Cut the sausages into bite sized pieces. Wet your hands then roll the pieces until the become rounded.
Heat a non stick pan over medium heat.
Add the meatballs and cook until well sealed, remove and set aside to drain on absorbent paper.
Add the oil to the pan and heat. (Optionally you can wipe out the animal fat, or adjust the amount of oil according to the amount of fat that rendered from the meat. The
brown bits left in the pan are flavoursome, so avoid wiping them out of the pan.)
Add the onion, fry until softened, about 4 minutes.
Add the garlic, cook for 1 minute.
Put the meatballs back into the pan, add the stock cube, tomato products and herbs, stir and reduce to a gentle simmer.
Cook uncovered until sauce is thick and fragrant, about 30 minutes.
While sauce is thickening, dried pasta to packet instructions.
Serving
Drain spaghetti, divide amongst serving plates. Top with meatball sauce, grate some fresh parmesan over the top to serve.
