Spagetti with Chicken Meat Balls in Olive Pasta Sauce

When one cooks with a toddler in mind, there will always be pasta dishes as these are one of the kids' all time favorite. Like any other toddler, Darrius has also started asking for pasta or any noodles dishes. As compared to rice vermicelli or rice sticks, pasta or spaghetti are the healthier choice.

Though preparing such dishes can be time consuming sometimes, but when you see your kids gobble them down, the work are all worth it! :)



.

Ingredients

  • 100g Spaghetti (I used the wheat based)

  • 120g Chicken pieces (use the thigh part as they will be more tender)

  • Small section of Red and Green Capsicum (coarsely chopped)

  • 1 Red onion

  • 1 Chinese mushroom (soaked and cut into small cubes)

  • 5tbsp Pasta Sauce (I used the one with olives)

  • Salt and pepper for seasoning

  • Some oil
 .

Methods

  1. In a medium stock pot, boil half a pot of water with some salt (1tsp). When it boiling, put in your spaghetti and cook until desired softness.

  2. Mince the chicken pieces and put in a bowl. Add in the chopped capsicums, mushroom and onions and mix with some salt and pepper and oil. Stir till they are well mixed. Then roll them into small balls.

  3. In a frying pan or sauce pan, heat up with some oil and pan fried the chicken meat balls till golden brown. Lift them up when all are cooked.

  4. In another sauce pan, heat up some oil and pour in the pasta sauce and stir till it is cook.

  5. In a dish, put some of the cook pasta with the chicken meatballs on top. Then pour some of the pasta sauce over and garnish with some chopped capsicums.
