Instructions

4 steps
  1. 1

    Put the beef, egg, breadcrumbs, herbs and garlic into a large bowl. Work the mixture together with your hands until thoroughly mixed. Season with salt and pepper. Roll the mixture into 10 equal-sized balls.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the meatballs in batches for 8 minutes until golden-brown all over. Return all the meatballs to the pan then stir in the chopped tomatoes, mixed herbs, sugar and garlic. Cook over a medium heat for 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    While the meatballs are cooking, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the spaghetti and cook for 10-12 minutes or according to the packet instructions. Just before the spaghetti is ready, add a ladleful of the pasta water to the tomato sauce to thin it down, if necessary.

  4. 4

    Drain the spaghetti and add to the pan with the meatballs. Toss to combine then divide between two serving bowls.
