First, cut a slit lengthwise into the casing of the sausages and remove the sausage meat. Form 7-8 balls from each sausage and set these aside. Place a large saucepan on the stove over high heat and melt the butter in it. When the butter starts to bubble, add the flour and stir quickly with a whisk. Now slowly add the hot water and stir constantly and vigorously to create a lump-free, light, and creamy basic sauce (= roux). Then add the ketchup. The sauce should be bright red and creamy. Season with stock, salt, and a little pepper. Then add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente.
