Instructions

Start the Prep
1

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the linguine.
Halve the chilli lengthways, deseed, then finely chop. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Make the Meatballs
2

Pop the panko breadcrumbs and Italian style herbs into a medium bowl. Add the water for the breadcrumbs (see ingredients for amount) and mix together.
Add the beef mince. Season with the salt for the meatballs (see ingredients for amount) and pepper.
Mix with your hands until combined, then shape the mixture into evenly sized balls, 4 per person. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

Simmer the Sauce
3

Pop the meatballs onto a large baking tray and drizzle with oil. Bake on the top shelf of your oven until browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the garlic and fry for 1 min. Pour in the water for the sauce (see ingredients for amount), beef stock paste and finely chopped tomatoes.
Stir together, then cover with a lid or foil and simmer until the sauce has thickened, 6-7 mins. Remove from the heat.

Cook the Pasta
4

Meanwhile, when your pan of water is boiling, add the linguine and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.
Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back into the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

Mix the Dressing
5

While everything cooks, pour the balsamic vinegar and olive oil for the dressing (see ingredients for amount) into another medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, mix together, then set aside.
Just before serving, add the rocket to the dressing bowl and toss to coat.

Finish and Serve
6

When everything is ready, pop the sauce back on medium heat to warm through, then stir in the cooked meatballs.
Add the cooked linguine and sprinkle in half the grated hard Italian style cheese. Toss to coat and combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Share the meatball linguine between your bowls and sprinkle over the red chilli (careful, it's hot - add less if you don't like heat) and remaining cheese. Serve the salad alongside.
Enjoy!
