Chicken Meatballs with Spaghetti
This is a very low cost meal, and is easy to make, and delicious.
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Serves: 2 - 3
Ingredients
For the sauce
½ onion, chopped
½ cup tomato sauce
1 can tomatoes (chopped)
¼ cup red wine
2 tbsp parsley
½ tsp oregano
Pepper
Pinch cinnamon
Small bay leaf
About 140 g spaghetti or similar
For the meatballs
250 g chicken minced
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 egg white
Bit of onion, chopped finely
1 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
Bit of oregano
Method
For the meatballs
Preheat the oven to 180°/170° fan forced. Lightly spray a baking dish or tray, or line it with baking paper.
Mix all the meatball ingredients in a bowl and mix them up well.
Using your hands, roll them into balls - I like them quite small so I made them into 16 however you can do them larger if you wish. Put them on the lined tray.
Bake for 12 minutes. Take them out and turn them over, and bake another 10 minute
Meanwhile cook the spaghetti as per packet instructions while you make the sauce.
For the sauce
Put all the sauce ingredients into a saucepan, and bring them to the boil.
You CAN first cook the onion a bit which I would do when making this next time.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 or so minutes.
Add the cooked meatballs to the sauce and simmer for a further 10 minutes.
Serve over the hot cooked spaghetti.
