Method
Step 1
Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water following packet directions or until al dente. Drain well.
Step 2
Meanwhile, use clean hands to combine the mince and dukkah in a large bowl. Season. Roll 1-tbs portions of the mixture into balls and place on a plate.
Step 3
Heat a large greased frying pan over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, for 5 mins or until browned all over. Add the capsicum and cook, tossing, for 2 mins or until just softened. Stir in the diced tomato, 3/4 cup (185ml) water and half the lemon juice. Simmer over low heat for 10 mins or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4
Add the pasta to the meatball mixture and toss to combine. Season. Combine the parsley and remaining lemon juice in a small bowl. Season.
Step 5
Divide the meatball mixture among serving bowls. Sprinkle with fetta, parsley mixture and lemon zest.
Recipe tip
