Pesto Meatball in Napoletana Sauce + Alce Nero & SHC Giveaway!


After caught a nuisance flu bug in Jakarta, I had been down for a week. The hazy condition in Singapore surely didn't help with the recovery, if not made it worse. I had been walking around like a mindless zombie for a week and finally I am back to my normal self again, now I am ready to resume my exciting kitchen adventures! What is a better way to start writing again than with a GIVEAWAY?

If you are a health connoisseur like me, you surely have heard of Alce Nero. Alce Nero is not only the leading organic brand in Italy, it is currently the only range of Italian organic pasta and pasta sauce in Singapore. Eating healthy doesn't always means that you have to make everything from scratch, it is a matter of choosing the trusted brand and right ingredients. Alce Nero guarantees 100% organic produce with the highest quality, giving you the convenience of using ready-made sauces while enjoying the comfort of of home cooked food. Less time spent on cooking = more quality times with the family!


Few days ago I made bruschetta with Alce Nero Organic Pesto with Antichoke for breakfast. No recipe issued, simply spread the pesto on sliced baguette and top with olive or cherry tomatoes. Try it, simple and tasted fantastic!

Anyway, I was left with some pesto and Lyn was craving for noodle. I know instantly what I have to make - pesto meatball in Napoletana Sauce. There is only one problem - Lyn seldom like store-bought tomato based pasta sauce. Well, who needs a reminder that she is a super fussy eater? So, this was her first time trying Alce Nero Organic Tomato Sauce Napoletana, and guess what? I am soooo glad that she love it! The pasta sauce is not overwhelmed with too many herbs but lavished with delightful fragrant from basil. Just the perfect balance between the herbs and tomatoes that I am looking for!


Now lets get started. Here are the ingredients that you will need:


Mix the meat, Alce Nero Organic Pesto with Antichoke, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, paprika, thyme and salt together.


Mix well and roll 'em round.


 Heat some oil and pan fry the meatball.


You just need to brown the surface.


Else you can bake it.


It takes a little longer to brown in the oven, bake in preheated oven at 200℃ for 15 minutes.


Now add the Alce Nero Organic Tomato Sauce Napoletana and oregano. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes or until cooked through.
