Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tbsp olive oil
8 chipolatas , meat squeezed out and rolled into balls
3 eggs
50g parmesan , grated, plus extra to serve (optional)
300g spaghetti
1 head broccoli , broken into small florets
2 garlic cloves , crushed

Steps:

  • In a large pan, heat the oil and cook the sausageballs until golden, moving them around in the pan frequently. Meanwhile, mix together the eggs, cheese and some seasoning with a fork in a jug.
  • Cook the pasta following pack instructions. Add the broccoli for the final 3 mins, then drain, reserving a cup of the cooking water.
  • Add the garlic to the sausageballs and cook for a couple mins more, being careful the garlic doesn't brown. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Add the pasta and broccoli to the sausage pan. Toss everything together, then add the egg mixture. Stir the sauce through the pasta for 1-2 mins. The heat from the pan will cook the sauce - if it is too thick, use a little of the reserved cooking water to thin it. Divide between pasta bowls and serve with extra Parmesan, if you like.
