Ingredients
- 16 ounces ring-shaped pasta (Anelli Siciliani)
- 30 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cantanzaro herbs, (such as Savory Spice Shop® Cantanzaro herbs)
- 2 teaspoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
- 16 ounces Italian-style meatballs
- 1/2 cup freshly shaved Parmesan cheese, or as needed, for garnish
- fresh basil, for garnish
Directions
step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente (about 8 minutes). Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining, then set the pasta aside
step 2
Combine tomato sauce, Cantanzaro herbs, sugar, salt, and pepper in the pot. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally
Step 3
While the sauce simmers, cut each meatball into 4 pieces and roll them into mini meatballs. Add these mini meatballs to the sauce and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency
Step 4
Add the cooked pasta rings to the sauce. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and Parmesan shavings. Serve immediately
