Italian meatballs

Method

1. Remove the skins from the sausages and, using damp hands, shape the meat into small balls the size of a golf ball.

2. Heat a frying pan and add the olive oil. Add the meatballs and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until browned all over. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Fry for 1-2 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened.

3. Add a knob of butter to the pan and grate in enough parmesan to form a smooth sauce. Stir well, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce has thickened.

4. To serve, spoon the cooked polenta onto a serving plate and pile the meatballs and tomatoes over the top. Drizzle over the sauce from the pan and grate over some more parmesan to garnish. Serve.

Absolutely delicious, and so easy and quick, all you need in my opinion is large chunks of crusty bread and a bottle of red, I didn't do the polenta, just had a bowl of good olive oil and balsamic to dip into as well, all my family loved it and the tomatoes were so sweet done like this, a keeper.

Ingredients
