Cooking Steps

Grate the courgette. Place a clean tea towel in a sieve. Add half of the courgette and a pinch of salt, then allow to drain.
Chop the parsley.
In a bowl, combine the drained courgette with the panko, the mince and half each of the cheese and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
Shape into six meatballs per person.

Meanwhile, prepare the stock in a pot or saucepan.
Remove from the heat and add the couscous. Allow to stand for 8 minutes, covered.
Stir in the Sicilian herbs and the extra virgin olive oil, then fluff through the couscous with a fork to separate the grains.
Chop the onion in the meantime.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the meatballs for 3 - 4 minutes.
Add the onion and the rest of the courgette. Fry for 2 - 3 minutes.
Add the passata and simmer for 4 minutes, covered.
Stir the pesto rosso and the water for sauce, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
