Cook the Pasta
1
  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the linguine.
  • When boiling, add the linguine to the water and bring back to the boil.
  • Cook until softened, 12 mins.
  • Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat.
  • Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking. Cover to keep warm.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

Prep the Veg
2
  • Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Make the Polpette
3
  • In a large bowl, mix 2 tbsp water and ½ tsp salt (double both for 4p) with the breadcrumbs.
  • Add the pork mince and half the Italian herbs (double for 4p).
  • Season with pepper and mix everything together by hand. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
  • Roll into evenly-sized balls, five per person.
Fry the Polpette
4
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, fry the pork meatballs until browned all over and cooked through, shifting as they colour, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: Meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.
Simmer Your Sauce
5
  • Return the (now empty) pan to medium-high heat, with another drizzle of oil if needed.
  • Once hot, fry onion and garlic until slightly softened, 3-4 mins.
  • Add stock powder, passata, Worcester sauce, 1 tsp sugar and 75ml water (double both for 4p). Simmer for 5-7 mins.
  • Add the meatballs and a knob of butter. Cook until warmed through, 1-2 mins.
  • Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.

TIP: Loosen the sauce with a splash of water if necessary!

Garnish and Serve
6
  • Divide the cooked linguine between bowls.
  • Top with your pork polpette and plenty of sauce.
  • Garnish with a sprinkling of cheese.
