Instructions
For the Meatballs
Add the finely chopped onions, garlic and your favourite meatballs (or even some beef burgers that have been cut into quarters if you are out of meatballs!) to a pan with a little olive oil over a medium flame and keep moving it all around until the onions are sizzling and soft and the meatballs have browned.
Add the jar of Ally’s Tomato Free Sauce and the vegetable stock and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a little salt and pepper to taste.
If you are making this meal for your family, you may cut the meatballs up into quarters, so the kids think they are getting more ?.
For the Pasta
Boil a large pan of water. Add a good pinch of sea salt.
Add the pasta to the pan and bring back to the boil, then turn down the heat to simmer for around 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste the pasta to see if it is cooked – it should be soft with just a slight bite. Once cooked, drain well, then add a drizzle of olive oil to help the pasta from sticking together.
For the Garlic Bread
Slice the part-baked baguette at an angle to fill a large baking tray.
Melt the butter and thoroughly mix in the garlic granules and dried herbs.
Spread about a tablespoon of the melted garlic butter to each slice of bread in the baking tray – You can use a tablespoon to pour it on, then use the back of the spoon to spread it evenly across the slice. Try to give each slice a good coverage and then drizzle olive oil over the top.
Bake in a preheated oven at 220 degrees for ten minutes until the edges have turned golden but the centre is still soft (or leave alittle longer if you prefer it crunchy).
