Spaghetti & Meatballs

Triple Tomato Spaghetti Sauce

1 diced onion
4 cloves garlic, crushed
200 grams mushrooms, diced
2 cans diced or crushed tomatoes, plus a half can of water
2 tablespoons tomato paste
A large pinch of mixed herbs
Salt & pepper


Take a large square glass casserole dish and placed all the ingredients in it. Mix them up well together and level the mixture out. Place the meatballs on top and roast for about an hour, turning the meatballs over halfway through.

Baked Meatballs

2 tablespoons chopped onion
Small handful fresh parsley
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan
400 grams beef mince
4 cloves crushed garlic
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 egg

Chop the onion, parsley and bread finely, preferably in a food processor. Grate the parmesan and crush the garlic. Then put all the ingredients into a large bowl.

Mix together really well. It should come together into a ball and be sort of wet but not sticky.


Roll the mixture into meatballs. Place the meatballs on top of the sauce mixture in a large casserole dish.


After half an hour check the meatballs and turn them. Let them cook for another hour.

Boil spaghetti and serve.

  1. They sound yummy. I love to put different spices in my meatballs to make them interesting but they are definitely great with pasta.
