There are multiple recipes available for this particular dish... I guess its the simplest of all Pasta's to fix. I have my own lill version, a lill Indianised, a lill packaged version of the recipe... i loved cooking n eating it, hope you like it too....
Ingredients:
Meat Balls - about 8 (we both love meat, so u see the no. is a lill higher for 2 ppl dish)
Spaghetti Pasta - about 200g, boiled as per pack instructions (I do well cooked rather than Al dente for this dish). Also add a lill bit of olive oil & salt while boiling the pasta.
Tomatoes - about 5 large - pureed in a blender
Garlic - 7 cloves - crushed
Onion - 1 medium, chopped
Green Oinions/Shallots : 4 - chopped
Green Chillies - 2 chopped
Black Pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
Salt - to taste
Olive Oil - for cooking & dressing.
Butter - 1 tablespoon
Red Wine - about a 100 ml - I at times replace it with white wine too
water - about 400 ml
Instructions:
Warm butter in a pan & stir fry the meat balls in it. This should take approx. 10 mins on medium - slow flame. Keep the meat balls aside.
In a deep dish, put some olive oil say about a tablespoon & add garlic. Once the color of gralic changes to a light brown, add onions & stir fry for about 5 mins, till the nions become golden & transparent.
Now add the tomato puree along with shallots, & green chillies.
Cook at high flame, stirring occassionally for about 8 mins, till the time the mixture is well reduced to a semi solid mass.
Add water & bring to boil while stirring continuously. At this stage add the meat balls & wine, & let the mixture reduce slowly to a sauce like consistency. I do this by alternating between high & low flames in a 2 mins high - 5 mins medium - 2 mins high.... cycle.
When the sauce is about to reach the desired consistency, add salt to taste,black pepper powder, some oregano powder, & red chilli flakes if you like it hot!!!
Plating:
Make a roundel of Pasta on the plate & pour the meatballs sauce in the centre. Garnish with a lill bit of shredded cheese & olive oil.
Enjoy with some dinner rolls & butter .....
Bon Apetit!!!
