Pork mince

Medium brown onion,  coarsely grated

Fresh Breadcrumbs

Garlic Cloves,  Crushed

Egg,  lightly whisked

Salt & freshly ground black pepper

Olive oil

Brown onion,  halved,  finely chopped

Garlic Clove,  Crushed

1 x can crushed tomatoes

Massel vegetable liquid stock

Dried Spaghetti

Finely chopped fresh continental parsley

Make meatballs:line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Combine the veal and pork mince, onion, breadcrumbs, garlic and egg in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Use your hands to mix until combined. Roll 1 heaped tablespoonful of mince mixture into a ball and place on prepared tray. Repeat with the remaining mince mixture.

step 1

Heat one-third of the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add one-third of the meatballs and cook, turning, for 8 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Repeat, in 2 more batches, with the remaining oil and meatballs, reheating pan between batches.

step 2

Make sauce:heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until aromatic.

step 3

Add the tomato, stock and tomato paste. Increase heat to high and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the meatballs, in a single layer, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes or until sauce thickens and the meatballs are heated through.

step 4

Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large saucepan of salted boiling water following packet directions or until al dente. Drain well. Return to the pan.

step 5

Add the parsley and basil to the tomato sauce, and stir until well combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add to the pasta and gently toss until well combined.

step 6

Divide the spaghetti and meatballs among serving bowls. Serve immediately.
