Method
Cooking the Pasta
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the bowtie pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Preparing the Meatballs
- If you're using frozen meatballs, heat them according to package instructions. If making homemade meatballs, combine ground beef with seasonings, shape into balls, and bake or fry until fully cooked.
Prepping the Veggies
- In the same pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the bell peppers and cook for another 3-4 minutes, followed by the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant.
Combining Ingredients
- Add the cooked pasta to the pan with veggies, tossing gently. Mix in the cooked meatballs, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir everything together until well combined.
Serving
- Using skewers, alternate threading the meatballs and vegetable pieces. Arrange on a serving platter, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and enjoy!
Notes
Choose Halal-Friendly Meat: Always ensure your beef meatballs are Halal-certified. Feel free to add zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or other robust veggies. Pay attention to the cooking times—overcooked pasta can turn mushy. Adjust quantities to fit your gathering size. Consider adding fresh parsley or basil for an aromatic garnish.
