Italian tomato and broken spaghetti soup

By Abigail Donnelly
3-4
Easy
10 minutes
15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 large sachet (500g) fresh Napoletana sauce
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • Handful of spaghetti
  • 12 ready cooked mini-meatballs (optional)
  • Salt and milled pepper
  • Chopped Italian parsley
  • Parmesan for sprinkling

Method

Simmer the sauce and stock for about 5 minutes. Stir in the spaghetti, broken into short pieces. Cook for about 8 minutes until the pasta is tender.
Add the meatballs, if using, and simmer for about 5 minutes. If it seems too thick, thin down with stock. Check seasoning.
Serve immediately, as the pasta will expand on standing. Sprinkle with parsley and pass the Parmesan.
TASTE’s take:

Add the meatballs if you want a more substantial soup.
