Onion

Garlic Clove

Sun-Dried Tomato

Beef Meatball

Chicken Stock Cube

Oregano

Thyme

Reduced-Fat Red Pesto

Single Cream

Spaghetti

Basil

Parmesan

Salt

Black Pepper

Finely dice the onion, crush the garlic cloves and slice the sundried tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. 

Pour a glug of oil from the sundried tomato jar into a large pan over a medium heat. Add the meatballs and fry for about 10 mins or until the meatballs are nicely browned and cooked through. Transfer the meatballs to a plate and set aside.

Meanwhile, set a large saucepan of boiling water over a high heat then add the stock cube and stir to dissolve.

Return the empty meatball pan to the hob and reduce the heat to low-medium. Add another splash of the sundried tomato oil then add the onion and garlic and fry for about 7 mins until softened.

Drop your spaghetti into the boiling water and cook following packet instructions.

Add the sundried tomatoes, oregano, thyme, pesto, salt and pepper to the pan with the onion and garlic. Toss the meatballs back in and stir to coat then pour in the cream and a couple of ladles of pasta water. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer.

Drain the cooked spaghetti then add to the pan with the sauce, along with ½ the chopped basil and a splash of the pasta cooking water. Mix well to combine.

To serve, divide the spaghetti between bowls and top with the remaining basil and some grated Parmesan.

dry sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (or about oil

canned full fat coconut milk

chicken bone broth or stock

TBSP apple cider vinegar vinegar

TBSP arrowroot starch + 1 TBSP water

salt and pepper

fresh basil, chopped (plus more for garnish)

Preheat oven to 400F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, onion, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Stir until evenly distributed and well combined, using your hands if necessary. Avoid overpacking the meat.

Using a large spoon, scoop, or your hands, shape the seasoned meat into meatballs about 1-inch in diameter. Place the meatballs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.*

Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 15 minutes or until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165F. Once baked, remove from oven and set aside.

To a large skillet, add olive oil over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until almost golden brown and add red pepper flakes and sun-dried tomatoes to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, adding a splash of water or a TBSP more oil if necessary.

Add the coconut milk, chicken bone broth, and apple cider vinegar, and bring to a simmer.

In a small bowl, combine arrowroot starch and water. Whisk the slurry into the pan to thicken the sauce.

Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste.**

Stir in the fresh basil and transfer meatballs to pan, garnishing with even more basil if desired.

Serve hot with 'plain' sides that will soak up the sauce and flavor like rice, gluten-free pasta, dairy-free mashed potatoes, or gluten-free bread.
