Low Protein Spaghetti & Meatballs
Delight in the Flavorful Symphony of Promin’s Low-Protein Spaghetti and Meatballs – A Wholesome Feast for Everyone!
At Promin, we understand the intricate impact that dietary restrictions can have on daily life, especially for those grappling with conditions such as Phenylketonuria (PKU). This understanding has fuelled our passion for developing appetising, low-protein foods that deliver an authentic culinary experience, without compromising on flavour or nutrition. Introducing our Low-Protein Spaghetti and Meatballs, an exquisite dish that beautifully embodies the richness of traditional Italian cuisine while catering to the unique dietary requirements of those in need of a low-protein alternative. Allow us to guide you through a detailed exploration of this remarkable meal, where every ingredient and step has been meticulously crafted to provide satisfaction, flavour, and nourishment.
The Uncompromising Foundation: Quality Ingredients
Every exceptional dish begins with high-quality ingredients that not only tantalise the taste buds but also nourish the body. Our 150g Promin Short Cut Spaghetti is thoughtfully crafted specifically for individuals requiring a low-protein diet. This versatile pasta mimics the traditional spaghetti experience you cherish, allowing you to indulge in every mouthful without the anxiety of exceeding protein limits.
The star of our dish is the wonderful meatballs, made from two sachets of Promin Burger Mix. This burger mix has been meticulously formulated to provide the satisfying texture of meat, enabling you to whip up hearty meatballs that hold their shape while absorbing the rich flavours from the accompanying sauce.
The sauce itself is built upon the foundation of 500g Tomato Passata, a silky, luscious tomato base reminiscent of classic Italian recipes. We enhance the passata with 2 teaspoons of Garlic Purée, 2 teaspoons of Tomato Purée, and a harmonious blend of 3 teaspoons of mixed herbs and 3 teaspoons of paprika. Each ingredient intermingles to create a sauce that is both savoury and slightly sweet—a perfect backdrop for our meatballs and spaghetti.
To achieve an exquisite balance of flavours, we incorporate 2 teaspoons of sugar and dissolve a vegetable stock cube in 100ml of water, elevating our sauce to new heights with an enticing depth of flavour. We also add diced red onion and diced carrot, which lend a gentle crunch and earthy sweetness that rounds out the overall dish beautifully.
And let’s not overlook the pièce de résistance—100g Violife cheese. This plant-based cheese offers a sumptuous, creamy texture and a subtle flavour that promises to enchant the taste buds, allowing everyone to relish that beloved gooey cheese topping that is a hallmark of traditional spaghetti and meatballs.
The Art of Preparation: Simple Steps to Culinary Delight
Crafting this exquisite low-protein spaghetti and meatballs is as simple as it is gratifying. With straightforward steps, even novice cooks can achieve culinary mastery in their own kitchens.
- Crafting the Meatballs: Begin by pouring the contents of the Promin Burger Mix into a mixing bowl. Add 200ml of water, stirring until a smooth paste emerges. Allow this tantalising mixture to rest while you prepare the aromatic base of the dish.
- Sautéing the Vegetables: In a pan, heat a teaspoon of oil and gently sauté the diced carrot and diced red onion until the onion reaches a lovely golden-brown hue. This initial step releases the vegetables’ natural sweetness. Stir in the garlic, mixed herbs, and sugar, infusing the dish with fragrant aromas and vibrant flavour.
- Building the Sauce: Dissolve the vegetable stock cube in 100ml of water and pour this savoury broth into the pan, introducing a new layer of depth. Incorporate the tomato purée, allowing it to simmer gently and meld with the sautéed vegetables, enriching the sauce as the flavours deepen and develop.
- Forming the Meatballs: On a lightly oiled surface, shape the burger mix paste into appetising meatballs. Their texture will contribute a delightful mouthfeel that complements our wholesome spaghetti beautifully.
- Cooking the Spaghetti: Bring 1 litre of water to a vigorous boil. Add the 150g Promin Spaghetti and cook for roughly eight minutes. This timing ensures the pasta reaches the ideal al dente texture, yielding a satisfying bite that is simply irresistible.
- Combining Elements: Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it and carefully stir it into the rich and flavourful tomato sauce that you have lovingly prepared.
- Cooking the Meatballs: In a separate frying pan, cook the meatballs, turning occasionally until they are meticulously cooked through and have developed a golden-brown exterior. Introduce the meatballs into the pan of spaghetti and sauce, allowing their flavours to meld beautifully.
- Final Touches: Season your dish with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as per your preference to achieve the perfect balance of flavours.
- Garnishing and Serving: Complete your culinary masterpiece by generously sprinkling grated Violife cheese on top. The cheese will melt just slightly, bestowing an invitingly indulgent finish that adds a delightful touch, sure to launch your taste experience into the stratosphere.
