Pesto pasta with meat balls, so easy and fast to make with few ingredients. To save time, I used Italian sausages. Buy good quality Italian sausage as this makes the dish. Get some ready made pesto or you can also see my recipe to make your own which will taste fresher. A drop of white wine, some cream, a few basil leaves and “pesto!” dinner is served. Enjoy my pesto pasta with meat balls.
Place a large pot of water on high heat, bring to the boil and add salt once boiling. Once boiling, cook the pasta al dente (approx 10 minutes, but see pack directions)
Using your hands, squeeze out sausage meat from casings and form into small meat balls. You can wet your hands or rub in olive oil to avoid sticking.
Place a frying pan on low to medium heat with olive oil, add and brown the meat balls all over until golden brown. Keep turning and rolling them in the pan for even browning.
Add minced or chopped garlic to the pan and sweat the garlic for 30 seconds, then deglaze with white wine, add the pesto mix well then add cream. Season with salt and pepper.
Turn up the heat and reduce sauce until a little thicker. Once pasta is cooked, strain in colander and add directly to the pan, toss well and cook 30 seconds.
Pluck some fresh basil leaves and tear them using your hands, scatter them in the pan and then serve immediately.
