Description
Minced turkey makes a healthy, low-fat alternative to minced beef in this popular family dish.
Method
Step 1 of 4
First, make the sauce. Heat a little oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Sauté the garlic and onion briefly, then add the rosemary, oregano, and thyme. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion has softened slightly. Stir in the tomato purée, then add the chopped tomatoes with their juices. Reduce the heat and simmer to thicken for 1 hour.
Step 2 of 4
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C (Gas 4). For the meatballs, mix the turkey, breadcrumbs, shallot, basil, egg, and seasoning in a bowl. Using your hands, from the mixture into twelve 5cm (2in) balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment.
Step 3 of 4
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until browned, sizzling, and cooked through. Remove from the oven and put them into the simmering sauce, stirring to incorporate.
Step 4 of 4
Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water for 8-10 minutes, or according to packet instructions. Drain, drizzle over a little oil, and toss well. Serve the spaghetti hot, topped with a generous portion of the sauce and meatballs.
