Serves: 6-8 for meal. Prep time: 10 min Cook Time: 65 mins Total Time: 1 hour 15 mins
Ingredients
1 pkg Dutch Delight mini meatballs
1 pkg Kaslo Sourdough fettuccini noodles
1/2 cup fresh basil chopped
1 med cooking onion diced
1 heaping tbsp herbs crushed garlic
2 tbsp italian seasoning
1 680ml jar strained tomatoes or plain sauce
1 540ml can of diced tomatoes
salt & pepper to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella
4 heaping tbsp of ricotta cheese
Notes: You don’t have to simmer for an hour if your pressed for time however the longer it simmers the more flavours blend! Like a bit of heat use diced tomatoes with chillis in them.
Directions
In an oven safe skillet or pan on med low heat add everything but the noodles, ricotta and mozzarella cheese. Stir and then simmer on low heat for about 1 hour. While your sauce is simmering cook your pasta until al dente. Turn on your oven to high broil. Next add your ricotta ( a tbsp here and there over your sauce) Mix the ricotta in lightly so it’s still visible in the sauce. Add your pasta noodles directly from the pot (don’t strain use tongs or a pasta spoon so there is still some moisture on the pasta). Mix in. Top your pan with the mozzarella and place pan in the oven for 4-5 mins until top has a nice brown baked look. Serve with garlic toast or green salad. Enjoy!
