Ingredients
- 500gm Mince (1lb)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 C flour
- 1-2 Diced Onion
- 500gm Pasta (1 bag)
- 800gm Can Tomatoes (1 large can)
- 4T Sugar
- 2T Sweet Basil
- 1T Oregano
- 1T red wine vinegar (Optional but amazing!)
- 2t Cornflour
- Grated Cheese of your favourite type
Instructions
- Mix Mince, 2 eggs, Onion
- Add in enough flour to make it dough like
- Make 1cm(1/2″) sized meatballs on a tray
- Put meatballs in the oven at 200C (200F) for 20mins whilst you do the rest
- Put pasta on to boil as per instructions on packet
- Empty tin of diced tomatoes into another pot
- Mix in, Sugar, Oregano,Sweet Basil, red wine vinegar
- Simmer sauce for 5 mins.
- Mix cornflour with enough water so it does not lump, and mix into the sauce until its as thick as desired .
I serve this up with paste on the plate, sauce over the pasta (usually in the middle), sprinkle the cheese over the top, then place meatballs in the center. If you are vegetarian just drop the meatballs or make vegetarian meatballs (vegeballs!).
It might sound complex, but because most of the food cooks at the same time its a very quick meal to make in a hurry.
This meal will feed 5-6 people easily.
