Method

Step 1 of 4

Line a tray with baking paper. Combine turkey, quinoa flakes, parmesan, spring onions, basil, garlic and egg together in a bowl. With damp hands, roll heaped tablespoons of mixture into balls and place onto tray. Cover and chill for 20 minutes to firm.

Step 2 of 4

Cook pasta according to packet instructions. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup of cooking liquid. Return pasta to pan and drizzle with a little extra oil. Set aside.

Step 3 of 4

Meanwhile, heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook meatballs for 8-10 minutes, turning regularly, until well browned. Add pasta sauce and reserved cooking liquid. Bring to the boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for a further 3 minutes.

Step 4 of 4

Serve pasta topped with meatballs, sauce, olives, basil leaves and extra parmesan. Serve with a large mixed leaf salad, if you like.
