Meatballs in Tomato Sauce

This is one of my favourite meal-time recipes. It can be made very quickly while still tasting great and having that homemade touch.

To make the meatballs you will need:
Mince
Bread (slightly stale bread is perfectly fine)
1 Egg
A dash of oil
Half an onion
Ground pepper

Firstly, cut up the onion into small pieces. Add a dash of oil to a frying pan and cook the onions until they're soft. Don't let them brown. Leave them to cool.

Meanwhile, use a blender to turn the bread into breadcrumbs. You can use any sort of bread. Slightly stale bread works well, so it's a great way to use left over bread.
Also, crack the egg into a bowl and beat it until it's mixed together. We will use the egg to bind the rest of the ingredients later.

Put the mince, some pepper, onion and egg into a large bowl. Add a couple of handfuls of the breadcrumbs. Mix together with your hands. If the mix is too wet, add more breadcrumbs.

Roll the meat into Ping-Pong ball sized balls. It doesn't matter if they're slightly bigger or smaller.

To cook, add a dash of oil to a frying pan. Add the meatballs and cook on a medium heat until they're brown all the way through. Wile they're cooking, make the sauce.

To make the sauce you will need:
Balsamic vinegar
Tinned tomatoes
Tomato puree
Half an onion
Oil
Italian Herbs

Chop the onion and add them to a frying pan with a little bit of oil. Leave them to soften.

Add The tinned tomatoes, a dash of balsamic vinegar, some tomato puree, a sprinkling of Italian herbs and salt to taste to the sauce pan. Let it simmer until it thickens.

Once your meatballs are cooked, an your sauce is done, it can be served on a bed of spaghetti. Ta-dah!
