Description
This is not the typical pork meatball and long-cooked tomato sauce combo. Change the meatball main ingredient, forget frying them until they bounce. Partially bake them instead, then gently simmer until they are fork-tender. Reduce the tomato sauce cooking time, and dial it up several notches on your culinary belt.
Juicy lamb and eggplant meatballs with hints of oregano, spice, and chili pepper, luxuriate in silky tomato sauce flavored with fresh basil. Quick-cooking the tomato sauce keeps it light; adding chunks of eggplant and sweet red pepper makes it refreshing. Toss with mezzi rigatoni, cavatappi, penne, or ziti. Imagine all that Sicilian sunshine goodness in one dish. Enjoy every bite!
