CHICKEN MEATBALL PENNE
A creamy pasta dish with tasty chicken meatballs. Full instructions have been included for freezing this dish. This recipe has been substantially adapted from a recipe in a recent issue of the Australian magazine 'New Idea'. In particular, I have made use of another one of my recipes: Chicken Meatballs Recipe #123018. To reduce the fat content of this recipe, use low fat evaporated milk and low fat feta.

Steps:
- Cook pasta in a large pan of boiling, salted water until tender; drain; cover to keep warm.
- To make the meatballs, combine the chicken, garlic, fresh breadcrumbs, chives, basil, parmesan and egg in a bowl, season to taste with salt and pepper, mix well and with floured hands, and shape the mixture into 12-16 meatballs, depending on the size of meatball you fancy.
- Place the meatballs on a tray, cover loosely and chill for 30 minutes.
- Heat the butter in a non-stick pan, over a medium heat, and sauté the meatballs, turning occasionally, for 6-8 minutes, or until they are lightly golden-brown all over and fully cooked; remove from the pan and cover to keep the meatballs to keep them warm.
- Heat the oil in the pan, add the onion, garlic and carrot, and sauté until they have softened; add the milk and peas and bring to the boil; add the pasta; season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper; and cook until the pasta is hot.
- Serve the pasta topped with the meatballs; sprinkle with the crumbled feta and garnish with sage.
- To freeze: Make the recipe to the end of step 5. Divide the mixture among four ovenproof, freezer-proof (2-cup capacity) dishes; top with the meatballs and sprinkle with feta; cover tightly with plastic wrap; label and date and freeze for up to 2 months.
- To serve: Thaw pasta in dishes in the refrigerator; remove the plastic wrap; place on an oven tray; cook in a hot oven (200°C) for about 45 minutes, or until hot, and garnish with sage.

Steps:
- For the meatballs: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the chicken, breadcrumbs, roasted red pepper, buttermilk, parsley, oregano, thyme, basil, garlic, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Roll the mixture into 2- to 3-inch balls, though the meatballs can be made into any size desired.
- Place the meatballs on a lightly-greased baking sheet and roast until cooked through and a little brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
- For the ricotta cheese Bring the milk, buttermilk, heavy cream and salt to a boil in a large stockpot over medium heat, then turn off the heat and let sit for 30 minutes.
- Using a very fine strainer or cheesecloth, strain the milk mixture to separate the thick parts, or curds, from the remaining liquid, or whey, over a bowl or container. Discard the whey. For thicker ricotta, let the mixture strain longer so more liquid is removed. Let cool and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the meatballs hot with your favorite homemade or store-bought tomato sauce and garnish with pieces of ricotta.
TURKEY MEATBALLS AND RICOTTA BAKE WITH PENNE
This is like a mini meatball lasagna, I use my recipe#136292 for this but you can use your own favorite tomato sauce, you will need about 7-8 cups of sauce for this recipe but you can use more sauce then stated when layering if desired, this is a great way to use up any leftover sauce that you have --- I have also made this recipe using my recipe#69173 this recipe can be doubled and baked in a larger baking dish to feed a crowd, prep time includes preparing meatballs and cooking the pasta :)

- Place the onions, tomato sauce, broth, and all of the seasonings in a 9×13” baking dish. Stir to combine (carefully so the sauce doesn’t splash over the sides). Add the penne and press it down into the sauce. It should be completely submerged. If it isn’t add a little more broth.
- Spread the meatballs over the top and lightly press them into the pasta and sauce. They don’t need to be completely submerged. If any of the penne pop up above the sauce, press them back in.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake the pasta for 45 minutes. After the time is up, take the pan out of the oven and remove the foil. Carefully stir the pasta and meatballs. Place the pan back in the oven (uncovered) and bake the pasta for 15 minutes.

- On a baking sheet, toss the broccoli and lemon slices with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, salt, pepper and the red pepper flakes. Spread evenly on the baking sheet and set aside while you make the meatballs.
- Make the Meatballs: In a medium bowl, beat the egg, then add the garlic, ricotta, 1 teaspoon salt, parsley, pepper, the rest of the oil, breadcrumbs and meat, and use your hands to gently combine it (too much mushing will make them tough and dry). You should still see pieces of the meat through the seasonings. Lightly wet your hands with water or oil and roll the meat into twenty loose?not tightly packed?rounds, slightly smaller than golf balls, using a gentle rolling motion between your hands (the water will keep them from sticking to your hands). Set on large pieces of baking parchment on the counter to make for an easier clean up.
- Nestle the meatballs on the baking sheet in between the broccoli and lemon. Bake until the meatballs are browned and cooked through and the broccoli is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the baking sheet to move the meatballs and turning the tray around halfway to ensure even cooking.
