Ingredients
- 500g spaghetti
- 250g beef mince
- 250g pork mince
- 8 tsp Gewürzhaus Mama’s Meatball Blend
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Oil for frying
- 2 cloves garlic, finely sliced
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 700ml passata
- 1 tsp cooking salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 sprigs fresh basil, plus more for serving
- Parmesan cheese, finely grated to serve
Directions
- Place spaghetti on to cook according to packet instructions. Meanwhile prepare your meatballs.
- In a large bowl add your mince, Mama’s Meatball Blend, breadcrumbs, egg and chopped parsley. Mix gently until ingredients are evenly combined. Roll meatballs to your desired size.
- In a large, deep-sided pan, add oil on medium heat and gently fry your meatballs for about 6-8 minutes, ensuring to turn them often so they are golden brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the garlic and onion and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the onion has softened.
- Next add the passata and season with the salt, sugar and ground pepper. Add the sprigs of basil and the meatballs to the sauce and simmer gently for a further 10 minutes.
- Drain your spaghetti and return it to the pot. Take a few spoonfuls of the tomato sauce and add it to the cooked spaghetti, stirring gently to coat it evenly.
- Serve your spaghetti with extra sauce and the meatballs on top. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and grated parmesan, as desired.
