This recipe of meatballs in marinara sauce is a classic but delicious dish. It's the perfect pasta sauce and topping, but it also tastes great on its own.
½mediumred chili (red chilli in British English) - fresh
2tinchopped tomatoes - 1 pound each tin
½cupParmesan cheese - for sprinkling
1teaspoonsugar (white sugar)
1pinchsalt - to taste
1pinchground black pepper - to taste
Instructions
To make your meatballs, combine the minced beef with all the ingredients. I used Sky Flakes crackers and honey mustard because that’s what I had in my pantry. By all means, use any cracker or mustard you prefer. Roll the mixture into 16-20 balls, cover in olive oil and chill in the fridge.
For the marinara sauce, sweat the onions, then add the garlic and chili. Before the garlic browns, add the tomatoes and season well with salt, pepper and sugar.
Fry the meatballs and add to the marinara sauce. Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes. Plate up and cover in parmesan and basil.
