- Squeeze out you’re sausage meat and form it into small meatball-sized balls,
- Heat Some olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the meatballs and pancetta, turning until the meatballs are browned on all sides, Once browned transfer the meatballs and pancetta to a bowl.
- Now add the onion, leek and season with salt & pepper and fry off for 5/7 min then add the fennel seeds, garlic and rosemary and stir for 2 minutes.
- Now add the tomato purée and keep stirring for 1/2 min then add the Prosecco until it’s reduced by half.
- Now pour in the tin tomatoes and chicken stock plus the meatballs and pancetta, break the meatballs up roughly with a spatula then Cover with a lid and simmer for at least an hour.
- serve it up with pasta ( I used rigatoni ) and a sprinkle of Parmesan,
