Ingredients

• 500g chicken mince
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium brown onion, halved, thinly sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed

Method

1. Mix mince, egg, breadcrumbs and 1/2 the paprika together in a bowl. Use your hands to shape tablespoons of mixture into meatballs.
2. Heat 1/2 the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs, in batches, for around 5 minutes or until browned, then transfer to a plate.
3. Heat remaining oil in pan, then add onion, garlic and mushroom. Stir for 5 minutes or until onion is softened and mushroom has browned. Add remaining paprika and cook for a further 1 minute, then add tomato paste, Worcestershire and stock. Bring to the boil and return meatballs to pan. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through.
4. Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water according to packet directions. Add sour cream and parsley to sauce and stir until heated. Serve with the pasta.
