Recipe by Jodie SmithSpicy meatball and bucatini pasta bake
Meatballs and pasta is as familiar and comforting as a dish can get. Super quick to put together, with everything in one pan to boot, will make this your favorite go-to family weeknight dinner. All that’s needed alongside is a nice crisp green salad and, if you’re feeling extra fancy, some garlic bread…
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 180c fan.
-
Place a large oven proof saute pan, for which you have a lid, on medium high heat. Add the meatballs and cook until evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the pasta sauce, stock, pasta and basil. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Place the lid on and bake for 20-22 minutes or until the pasta is cooked and the sauce is reduced and thick.
-
Remove from the oven and heat the grill to medium high. Tear the burrata over the pasta and place under the grill for about 6 minutes until golden and bubbly.
-
Garnish with the extra basil leaves and serve with the grated parmesan, if using, alongside.
