MEATBALLS AND PASTA





Having spent the day gallivanting about the neighbourhood ,photographing tree work in progress and choosing paint for my room ,I needed a quick tasty meal for my hungry boys


For the meat balls
1lb steak mince
2 large onions finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic crushed
a little salt and pepper.
2 teaspoons of Italian herbs
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Put all the ingredients in to a bowl and mix well. Divide into 24 small balls and set aside.

For the sauce

1 tin of tomatoes chopped
3 tablespoons of tomato purree
1 table spoon of olive oil
salt
pepper
1 heaped teaspoon of granulated sugar.
Put all the ingredients in to a saucepan and bring to the boil,simmer for fifteen minutes.

Fry the meatballs until golden brown the transfer then to the sauce and simmer for about 10 -15 minutes.
Serve with spaghetti or spoon over penne if you prefer.

Top with a few parmigiana shavings and add a side salad and some garlic bread if you are extra hungry.
