This spicy sausage meatball pasta recipe is one from David...and it's delicious!! There's a few recipes already on Felly Bull with the combination of chilli flakes and fennel seeds - it's definitely one of our favourites. We also happen to love pork sausages and pasta, so I'm very glad this recipe turned out so well!!
The sausage meatballs have the chilli flakes and fennel seeds in them, which gives the lovely spice to the dish. Combine this with a full of flavour rich tomato sauce and pasta of your choice, you're definitely onto a winner.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Tips
- Make ahead – the sausages and sauce (steps 1 to 5) can easily be made either the day before or earlier in the day. When you’re ready to eat, gently reheat on the hob while you cook the pasta.
- This spicy sausage meatball pasta recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
