Pasta and store-bought frozen meatballs get an unexpected flavour boost from apple juice and dill.
Ingredients
250-ml container 35% cream, about 1 cup
1/2 cup apple juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tsp dried dill
1/4 tsp salt
1 lb frozen meatballs
1 red bell pepper
1/2 450-g pkg rotini, fusilli or penne pasta
4 green onions
Instructions
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, pour cream and apple juice into a large frying pan. Stir in garlic, dillweed and salt. Bring to a boil. Add frozen meatballs. Cover and simmer for 5 min.
Meanwhile, cut pepper into bite-sized chunks. Add pasta to boiling water and cook following package directions. Once meatballs have simmered 5 min and are partially thawed, add red pepper. Continue to simmer, covered, until meatballs are cooked through, 5 to 7 more min. Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions.
Drain pasta. Add to sauce along with green onions. Taste and add salt and pepper if you wish.
