Cozy up with cheesy sausage meatball pasta bake for the perfect comforting meal on chilly nights.
Ingredients:
  • 400g spicy beef sausages
  • 300g dried fusilli pasta
  • 375g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 135g (1/2 cup) tomato pesto
  • 82.50 ml shredded fresh basil
  • 6 bocconcini, thinly sliced
  • 25g (1/3 cup) finely grated parmesan
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C and peel the skin off the sausages. Shape heaping teaspoonfuls of the sausage into balls.
  • Boil the pasta in a large saucepan of salted water according to package instructions. Save 80ml (1/3 cup) of the cooking water. Add the drained pasta back to the pan.
  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Brown meatballs for 3-4 minutes, then transfer to a plate. Add onion and garlic to the pan, cook for 5 minutes until onion softens. Stir in tomato and cook for 2-3 minutes. Combine meatballs with the sauce.
  • Combine the meatball mixture, pesto, basil, and reserved cooking liquid with the pasta, then divide the mixture into four 500ml (2-cup) capacity ovenproof dishes. Sprinkle bocconcini and parmesan on top and bake for 20 minutes until golden.
