Meatball Marinara

METHOD

1. In a medium pan sauté onion and garlic with about 1 Tbsp Olive oil. As the onions begin to sweat season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Once lightly browned add in the tinned tomatoes and cook for 3-4 mins breaking them up with a wooden spoon. Next add in the herbs followed by the vinegar and sugar. Simmer for 5 mins stirring in between.
3. Now this step is optional but I like blending the sauce. Once it's simmered for 5 mins either blend it with an immersion blender or in a regular blender with a handful of fresh basil. Just be careful when blending hot liquids. Set aside once blended.
4. On a non stick skillet brown the meatballs on either side for about 1 minute on a medium flame. As mentioned before they come pre seasoned so don't reach for that salt however you can add a bit of pepper if you like. Otherwise oil and a good pan is all you need!
5. Pour in the marinara sauce and let the meat balls cook in the sauce for a further 10 mins on a low flame.

At this point everything is nearly ready. All you need is some cooked pasta of choice a bit of cheese and a glass of red to wash it all down.
