Summery Wäinzoossiss Meatball Pasta

My Wäinzoossiss meatball pasta, which is on the cover of my ‘Flavours of Home‘ book, turned out to be one of my most crowd-pleasing recipes during lockdown. I think most of Luxembourg ended up cooking this pasta!

So I thought to give this recipe a little summery twist, by adding some fresh broad beans and flat beans to the sauce. It works amazingly well and adds some vitamins to the whole thing too.

For this recipe I’ve partnered with Le Moulin, a great brand which makes a big range of pasta here in Luxembourg.

Ingredients

200g runner beans
150g peeled broad beans
3 Wäinzossiss sausages
200g LE MOULIN spaghetti
1 tbsp sunflower oil
10g butter
1 tbsp Dijon mustard*
1 tbsp Luxembourgish mustard
1 tbsp coarse grain mustard
100ml white wine
200ml cream
salt and pepper

Method

Serves 2 – Prep: 20 minutes

Trim the runner beans and cut into 2cm bite-sized pieces. Cook in boiling salted water for 6 minutes – adding the broad beans for the last 2 minutes of the cooking time. Drain and set aside.

Slice open the sausages, remove and discard the casing. Break off walnut-sized pieces of sausagemeat and roll into small meatballs between your hands.

Heat the sunflower oil and butter in a frying pan. Fry the meatballs for 5 minutes, turning regularly, until evenly browned. Put onto a plate and set aside.

Add the 3 types of mustard and the wine to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Add the cream, season with salt and pepper and simmer the sauce for about 5 minutes until thickened.

Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in salted water for approximately 7 minutes until al dente.

Add the meatballs to the pan with the sauce and toss to cover.

Drain the spaghetti and mix with the sauce, beans and meatballs. Divide between two plates and serve immediately.

*I’m using three types of mustard for my sauce, but you can just use any mustard you have – of course Luxembourgish mustard makes for the most authentic taste.
