Spaghetti with Meatballs (Chicken)

Directions

• Prepare meatballs following my Chicken Meatballs recipe.
• Half-fill a pot with water, salt and oil. Bring to a boil.
• While you wait for the water to boil, in a separate frying pan heat about 1 tbsp oil. Fry the minced garlic till golden.
• Add and saute the chopped onions till translucent (don’t wait for it to change colour).
• Add mushrooms and cook till it changes colour and the water dries out.
• Add the tomato, cover and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes till tomatoes are soft.
• Add the pasta sauce, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and dried mixed herbs.
• Add the pre-cooked meatballs. Cover and cook on low heat for 10 minutes to allow the flavour to develop.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the baby spinach.
• In the pot of boiling water, add pasta and cook till almost done (al dente).
• Scoop out about ½ cup of the pasta water in a mug. You can add this to the meatball mixture if it’s drying out.
• Drain the pasta.
• Take out the pasta in a serving bowl/plate. Top with the meatball mixture and shaved parmesan cheese.
