*Meatball Primavera* Serves 4 I like to use fresh pesto if I can, but that's not always possible. A good quality purchased pesto will work just fine. This is delicious, quick and simple. 8 ounces uncooked fettuccine, broken in half low fat cooking spray 1 small red onion, peeled and cut into thin wedges (about 1/2 cup) 2 small courgettes (zucchini) washed, trimmed and cut into 1 by 1/2 inch strips 4 Plum tomatoes, chopped (about 1 cup) 18 cooked Italian Square Meatballs, thawed 60g of prepared basil pesto (1/2 cup) Cook the fettuccine as directed on the package. Drain well and keep warm. Cook the onion in a large nonstick skillet, (which you have sprayed with low fat cooking spray) over medium heat for several minutes, until crispy tender. Add the courgette strips and cook for a futher 2 minutes, stirring. Add the tomatoes and meatballs. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until heated thoroughly, stirring occasionally. Add the cooked fettuccine and pesto, mixing all together well. Heat through and serve. |
