Instructions

1 Make meatball mix

Add the chicken mince, panko bread crumbs, Dijon mustard, garlic paste and salt to a large mixing bowl. With clean hands, knead until all the ingredients are fully combined. With oiled hands, form into small meatballs. Set aside.

2 Start sauce

Peel and chop the shallots and garlic. Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the shallots and garlic with a pinch of salt. Cook for 3 min. Add the tomato passata, measured water, crumbled chicken stock cube and honey. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 min.

3 Boil pasta

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Once boiling, add the penne pasta and cook for 10-12 min until 'al dente' or until cooked to your liking. Drain.

4 Fry meatballs

Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken meatballs to the pan and fry for 5 min on all sides until lightly browned and cooked through.

5 Finish sauce

Add the cooking cream to the tomato sauce. Using a stick blender, puree the sauce until smooth. Check the seasoning.

6 Combine and serve

Pour the tomato sauce over the chicken meatballs. Grate the Parmesan. Divide the cooked penne pasta among plates and scoop the meatballs and tomato sauce over the top. Serve with the grated Parmesan, the fresh basil and a grind of black pepper.
