Ingredients

  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 courgette, roughly chopped
  • 1 carrot, roughly chopped
  • 1 celery stick, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
  • 2 tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley, plus 1 tbsp to garnish
  • 454g pack Co-op Butcher’s Choice reduced fat pork sausages
  • 50g Co-op parmesan wedge, finely grated, plus extra to serve
  • 400g can Co-op Italian chopped tomatoes
  • 100ml chicken stock, made with ½ stock cube
  • 320g Co-op wholewheat spaghetti

Method

  1. Blitz the onion, courgette, carrot and celery in a food processor until mostly finely chopped — it’s fine if there are some larger bits
  2. If you don’t have a food processor, coarsely grate the vegetables instead
  3. Then tip into a large bowl, along with the chilli and parsley
  4. Squeeze the sausagemeat out of the skins, add to the bowl, along with the parmesan, then season
  5. Mix until well combined, using your hands, then shape into 20 meatballs
  6. Pour the tomatoes and stock into a slow cooker set to high, and season
  7. Add the meatballs, cover with the lid and cook for 4 hours on high (or 7 hours on low)
  8. Around 15 mins before the end of the cooking time, cook the spaghetti according to the pack instructions, then drain it
  9. Remove the meatballs with a slotted spoon. Add the pasta to the sauce and toss well, then divide between four bowls
  10. Top with the meatballs, then sprinkle over the extra parsley and parmesan to serve
