Italian sausage with broccoli alfredo — Ninja Speedi

by Don  

2023-11-07:  I basically tried to use the Chicken Broccoli Alfredo recipe from the Speedi recipe book that came with the Speedi.  The sausages turned black outside although, praise Heaven, they didn't have a burnt taste.  Next time instead of using the whole fifteen minutes on the sausage, I think I should put it on Speedi meals for 5 minutes, then add the sausage in and set it for 10 more minutes.

Frozen meatballs and orecchiette — Ninja Speedi version

by Don  

Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups of water.  Add a bit more if necessary to make sure all the pasta is covered with water.
  • 24 oz can of pasta sauce (I used Hunt's garlic and herb pasta sauce.)
  • 8 oz orecchiette (half of a 16 oz box)
  • 9-12 frozen meatballs, roughly golf-ball size or a bit smaller
  • 1 tsp of garlic salt
  • 1 tsp of mixed Italian seasonings

Method

Mix everything in the bottom of the bottom of the pot without the crisper tray.  Steam for 18 minutes.  Half way through, pause and give it all a good stir with a non-metal spatula, being careful to scrape the bottom of the pot to make sure none of pasta is sticking.

Notes:

2023-08-13: In terms of textures and timing this was great, but the diluted sauce was too bland.  Next time try 1.5 tsp of garlic salt and 1.5 tsp of Italian seasonings.
