A good all-round meatball recipe. I suggest serving over spaghetti, but you could also serve over any pasta, rice or cous-cous.
500g beef mince
500g spaghetti
400g diced tomatoes
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
2 spring onions, chopped
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Italian herbs
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (extra)
pinch salt
Combine beef, onions, most of parsley (leaving small amount aside to use for serving), sauce and herbs.
Mix well.
Roll into large walnut-sized balls with the palms of your hands.
Heat oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Add meatballs and cook for 4 - 5 minutes, turning frequently until browned all over.
Reduce heat to medium and add tomatoes and extra sauce.
Simmer for a further 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add pasta to a large pot of boiling salted water.
Boil for 10 minutes or until pasta is al dente.
Drain well and serve topped with meatballs and extra parsley.
Serves: 4.
Total time: 25 minutes (10mins prep + 15mins cook).
