Romano peppers have a particularly sweet flavour. They also have a slightly thinner skin compared to the regular bell pepper, so you'll barely be able to notice it when eating this dish!

Cooking Steps

Boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan for the spaghetti.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the meatballs for 5 - 6 minutes or until done, halving them with a spatula as you do so.
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti for 10 - 12 minutes. Reserve some of the pasta water, then drain and set aside.

In the meantime, cut the Romano pepper into strips and slice the onion into half rings.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the onion and Romano pepper for 1 minute.
Stir in the passata, sugar and balsamic vinegar, then crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amounts).
Cover with the lid and allow to simmer for 3 minutes.

When the sauce is done, take the pan off the heat. Stir in the cream and the meatballs.
Add the spaghetti and 1 tbsp per person of the reserved pasta water, then toss well to combine.
Season generously with salt and pepper.

Did you know... as well as vitamin C, Romano peppers are also high in vitamin E. This antioxidant is also found in sunflower oil, wholegrain products, nuts, seeds and green vegetables.
