Comment préparer Arrabiatta Pork Meatball Spaghetti
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1-2 small red chilies (finely chopped, adjust to your spice preference), and half of a cup of chopped fresh basil. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Season with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon sugar.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 pound ground pork, 4 ounces diced bacon (cooked and crumbled), 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
- Season the pork mixture with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
- Gently roll the mixture into 16 meatballs (approximately 1.5 ounces each).
- Add the meatballs to the simmering tomato sauce and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until cooked through, turning occasionally.
- While the meatballs simmer, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente.
- Drain the spaghetti, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the tomato and meatball sauce. Toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water to loosen it.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste and stir in the remaining half cup of chopped fresh basil.
- Serve immediately in warmed bowls, garnished with extra basil if desired.
