Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 16 ounce ring-shaped pasta Anellini Siciliani
  • 30 ounce tomato sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Cantanzaro herbs
  • 2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt, optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 16 ounces Italian style meatballs
  • Freshly shaved Parmesan cheese for garnish
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Method
 

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in pasta and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, drain pasta, and set aside.
  2. Add tomato sauce, Cantanzaro herbs, sugar, salt. and pepper to the pot; bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
  3. Meanwhile, cut each meatball into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into a mini meatball. Drop meatballs into sauce; simmer until heated through, about 10 minutes. If sauce seems too thick, thin out by adding pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  4. Stir in cooked pasta rings. Garnish with basil leaves and Parmesan shavings and serve immediately.
