Cooking Instructions and Tips

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Put a large saucepan of water on to boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the spaghetti. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, mixed herbs, half the garlic, water and salt for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for both amounts), then add the beef mince. Season with pepper and mix together with your hands.

Roll into evenly-sized balls, 5 per person. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

Pop the meatballs onto a large baking tray. When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

When your pan of water is boiling, add the spaghetti and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 8 mins.

Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together. Cover with a lid.

Meanwhile, add the remaining garlic, chopped tomatoes, chicken stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) into a medium saucepan.

Pop the pan on medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and simmer until thickened, 6-8 mins.
