| BOWTIE PASTA IN CHICKEN MEATBALL GRAVY |
So, 1 day, I
decided to surprise the 2 men in my life (my hubby and my 5 year old cutie)
with a scrumptious meal of Chicken Meatballs with Bowtie Pasta. They loved it
so much that an instant demand came from my son to make it again the next day!
You can make
meatballs at home from chicken mince. I
have used Frozen Meatballs since this
was a last minute decision.
Here is the
recipe.
Ingredients:
1 cup Bowtie
Pasta
10-12
Chicken Meatballs
2 onions (chopped
up into chunks)
1 capsicum (chopped
up into chunks)
2 green chilies
(finely chopped)
4 garlic cloves
(minced)
4 – 5 green
olives
150 ml
tomato puree
2 tbsp Stir-Fry
Sauce
2 tsp
Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp Lemon Grass
Wok Sauce
2 tbsp Olive
Oil
Method:
Prep all the Ingredients.
In a
microwavable container, cook the meatballs for 10 minutes till they are tender.
Keep aside. Retain the water for use later on.
Cook the
Bowtie Pasta as per the instructions. Keep aside.
**TIP: Contrary
to popular belief, do not put oil on the pasta when it is resting since this
increases the stickiness of the pasta. Just fluff and keep it aside. Fluff it
again to avoid clumping together.**
In a wok,
heat 2 tbsp olive oil, add the minced garlic and green chilies. Saute for 2
minutes.
Add the
onions and capsicum. Saute for a minute.
Add the Stir
Fry sauce and Lemon Grass Wok Sauce and sauté on high for 2 minutes, constantly
stirring.
Add the
tomato puree.
Add 1 cup
water (you can use the water in which the meatballs were cooked)
Bring to a
boil and add the Meatballs.
Add the
Worcestershire Sauce and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the Cooked Pasta and the olives.
Serve Immediately.
