MINCE CHICKEN BALLS, SAUCY SPAGHETTI PASTA - SERIOUSLY DELICIOUS



Mince Chicken Balls, Saucy Spaghetti Pasta - Seriously Delicious image

This is seriously good comfort food and a fantastic alternative to the perennial favourite 'spag bol'. I copied it out of an Australian Womens Weekly recipe book years ago . Although the original suggested wholemeal spaghetti, any spaghetti, fettuccine, penne, fussili etc can be used. The recipe also says bottled pasta sauce, but I make my own by cooking onions and garlic in oil for 5 minutes, adding 1 can of chopped tomatoes and 1 cup of chicken stock. Simmer for about 10 mins and then puree - add more stock and tomotoes as needed. Note that you'll need to have 1 cup cooked rice for the recipe.

Provided by Alida Ryder

Categories     Dinner

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 17

500 g (1lb) ground chicken / chicken mince
1/3 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1 extra-large egg (beaten)
¼ cup Parmesan cheese (grated )
1 tbsp dried Italian herbs
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 onion (finely chopped)
2 garlic cloves (crushed)
2 tsp dried Italian herbs
400 g (14oz) chopped tomatoes
2 cups tomato puree / tomato passata
pinch of sugar ((optional))
salt and pepper (to taste )
Parmesan cheese (for serving)
fresh basil (for serving)
500 g (1lb) pasta of your choice

Steps:

  • Combine the chicken, Parmesan, seasoning, egg and breadcrumbs in a large mixing bowl. I used panko breadcrumbs but feel free to use Italian breadcrumbs or fresh.
  • With wet hands, form the meatballs and place on a parchment lined plate or chopping board.
  • Heat a large skillet or pan (Use a slightly deeper pan to make sure the sauce doesn't boil over) over medium-high heat.
  • Add a splash of oil then add the meatballs, cooking in batches until they are golden brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan you cooked the meatballs, add chopped onion and cook for a few minutes until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and herbs and cook for a few seconds until fragrant.
  • Pour in the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, herbs, sugar, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes then carefully add the meatballs to the sauce. Cook for another 10 minutes while the pasta cooks. If the sauce looks like it's reducing too much, add ½-1 cup water or stock.
  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted, boiling water until al dente, approximately 10 minutes (depending on shape). Drain then add to the pan with the meatballs and sauce and toss well.
  • Serve topped with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.

CHICKEN MEATBALLS AND SPAGHETTI

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (16 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can diced tomatoes
3 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 ¼ cups water
1 tablespoon dried basil
salt and pepper, to taste
2 pounds ground chicken
1 cup dry bread crumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
salt and pepper, to taste
cooking spray
1 (16 ounce) package whole-wheat spaghetti

Steps:

  • Stir together the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, water, and basil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes while preparing meatballs.
  • Mix together the ground chicken, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Roll into 1 inch balls. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and coat with cooking spray. Brown the meatballs on all sides. Add meatballs to the simmering pasta sauce and cook until internal temperature of meatballs reaches a minimum of 160 degrees F (72 degrees C), about 30 minutes.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water, and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the spaghetti, and return to a boil. Cook until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain. Serve the meatballs and sauce over the cooked spaghetti.
