Parsley pesto

½ l leaves from flat-leaf parsley
1 tbsp fresh sage leaves
1 tbsp olive oil

Preparation

Preparation

Combine the minced meat with salt and pepper.

Make 16 meatballs.

Cut the prosciutto slices into 16 pieces and wrap a piece around each meatball.

Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with aluminium foil and bake on the top rack approx. 10 min. at 200°C (conventional oven).

Finish on the grill setting until the meatballs are slightly golden (1-2 min.).

Parsley pesto

Combine and blend all the ingredients for the pesto in a mini-blender.

Bring plenty of salted water to a boil in a large pot.

Cook the spaghetti for approx. 9 min., then add the broccoli and cook for another 3 min. until the spaghetti and broccoli are just tender, but not too soft.

Add the cabbage to the boiling water, stir, then drain in a colander.

Combine the spaghetti and vegetables with the parsley pesto and place in a large serving dish.

Top with the meatballs and sprinkle with cheese and freshly ground pepper. Serve immediately.
