    • 1 package of veal-style polpette meatballs in tomato basil sauce (600g)1 paquet de boulettes de veau style polpettes en sauce tomate basilic
    • 350g spaghetti
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 small onion, finely chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 carrot, diced
    • 1 celery stalk, diced
    • 1 can diced tomatoes (approx. 400g)
    • 1 tsp dried oregano
    • ½ tsp sugar (to balance acidity)
    • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
    • Fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

  • Preparation

    1. Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions. Drain, reserving a bit of the cooking water.
    2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery for about 5 minutes, until softened.
    3. Add the diced tomatoes, oregano, sugar, salt, and pepper. Simmer over medium-low heat for 10–15 minutes.
    4. While the sauce simmers, reheat the Cool&Simple veal meatballs according to package instructions (in the oven or in a skillet with their sauce).
    5. Once the meatballs are heated through, gently stir them into the sauce to absorb the flavours.
    6. Toss the cooked spaghetti with the sauce, adding a bit of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
    7. Serve in bowls, garnished with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese.
