- Mix the beef mince and pork mince together. Add the finely chopped onion, flat-leaf parsley, grated parmesan, and breadcrumbs. Combine the beaten egg and seasoning.
- PRO TIP. If you mix together the mixture really well and dedicate a little more time to squeezing and mashing the mince, the more tender the finished meatballs will end up.
- Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.
- Roll the mince mixture into meatballs. allowing about 5 per portion, then spread them out in a large roasting tin.
- PRO TIP. The meatballs will brown better if spaced out a bit.
- Drizzle with a little olive oil (about 1 tsp per portion), shake to coat, then roast for 20 mins they should brown up nicely.
- Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in your largest pan. Add the crushed garlic and flash fry for 1 minute.
- Stir in the chopped tomatoes, red wine, caster sugar, and a good glug of herby tomato ketchup. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning as required.
- While the sauce is cooking you can boil the spaghetti as directed on the packet. It’s advised 100g per portion.
- Spoon the sauce over spaghetti, crown with the meatballs and serve with extra parmesan and a few basil leaves, for garnish if you have any to hand.
