• Boil the kettle. • Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water with a generous pinch of salt. • Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, over high heat, until ‘al dente’, 10 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (¾ cup for 2 people / 1 1/2 cups for 4 people). Drain spaghetti, then return to saucepan with a drizzle of olive oil.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• Meanwhile, combine pork mince, fine breadcrumbs, the egg, half the dijon mustard and a pinch of pepper in a medium bowl. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of pork mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate. • In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Transfer to a plate.
• Wipe out the frying pan and return to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook soffritto mix, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add cream (see ingredients), chicken-style stock powder, remaining dijon mustard and reserved pasta water, and simmer until thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Return meatballs to the pan, add cooked spaghetti, the butter and baby spinach leaves. Stir to combine and season to taste.
• Divide creamy mustard pork meatball spaghetti between bowls. • Sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
