Colm O'Gorman's Linguine Arrabiata with Italian Meatballs
Sort that cold-weather hankering for comfy food with this Linguine Arrabiata with Italian Meatballs
The freezing temperatures had me hankering for comfort food this week. When the weather gets cold I always want to load up with carbs, big bowls of stew or casseroles, or, most especially, pasta. For me, there is nothing better on a cold day than a big bowl of pasta smothered in a tasty tomato-based sauce, topped off with lots of parmesan cheese and served with home baked garlic bread.
This week I satisfied that longing with some beautiful meatballs and linguine in an arrabiata sauce. I use an arrabiata sauce for these meatballs because I love a mild chilli kick to this dish, but skip the chilli flakes if you prefer and you will essentially have a marinara sauce which will also work beautifully. You will get about fifteen meatballs from this recipe, and three per person is a good serving.
