    Combine the chicken mince, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and Cajun spices, then form into 12-15 meatballs.

  2. 2

    Sear the meatballs in a small amount of oil until browned, then take them out and keep them warm.

  3. 3

    In the same pan, introduce the thinly sliced garlic cloves. Once they achieve a light golden hue, incorporate the crushed plum tomatoes and oregano.

  4. 4

    Concurrently, cook the fusilli or penne pasta in salted boiling water in a separate pot.

    Return the prepared pasta to the sauce, along with some of the hot pasta water.

    Place the chicken meatballs back into the sauce to warm them through.
