Serve with my Garlic Bread for an easy midweek meal.
Easy Sausage Meatballs
This recipe is based on one that I saw on a cooking show when I was living in England, but I can’t remember who it was that made it for the life of me. Whoever it was, I’d like to thank them because this meal has saved me on many busy nights when I needed a quick meal. This recipe is also the first-ever recipe I posted on Erren’s kitchen, so it has a special place in my heart, and I hope you will love it too.
Step By Step Instructions
Start a pot of water for your pasta. If your sausage meat is still in its casing, remove the sausage meat and form it into small clumps so that they look like little meatballs. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan, add the sausage meatballs, and brown the sausage until there is no pink left drain the fat from the pan. Transfer to paper towels and set aside. Add more oil to the pan if necessary. Add the chopped onion and cook until they are soft. Add the garlic and fry for another minute. Add the sausage meat back into the pan with the tomatoes, herbs, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and if using. Crumble the stock cube into the mixture. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer covered over medium heat for about 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste before serving. When the sauce has about 10 minutes to go, cook the pasta until just underdone and reserve some water before draining. Drain and add to the sauce to finish cooking (if the sauce has gotten too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water to help loosen it). Serve hot.
