Ingredients for Meatballs:
500g beef mince
2 eggs
120g breadcrumbs
10g parsley
2 cloves of garlic crushed
Salt and black pepper to season
Ingredients for Sauce
2 cans of tomato puree
2x cans of Tomato Puree
1 can of whole peeled tomato (hand crushed)
500ml beef or vegetable stock
50g tomato paste
2 cloves of garlic crushed
1 onion chopped
6 dried cloves
10g basil
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp sugar
40ml Banhoek Chilli Oil
20ml Olive oil
1 packet pasta of choice
Cooking Method:
In a large bowl add the mince, eggs, breadcrumbs, salt, parsley, garlic, black pepper and mix till thoroughly combined. Then portion into small golf ball sized balls and set aside.
In a large pan on low heat add the olive oil and Banhoek Chilli Oil add the onions and sauté until translucent.
Add the meatballs and brown but don’t burn the onions.
Once the meatballs have browned, add the garlic, tomato purée and half of the whole peeled tomato can.
Mix the stock, tomato paste and sugar with the other half of the whole peeled tomato and add to the pan.
Lastly, add the cloves, black pepper, and a pasta of your choice.
Stir everything together, ensuring both the pasta and meatballs are covered with the sauce.
Simmer for 25 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure nothing sticks to the pan and catches.
After about 25 minutes, once the pasta is cooked, take the pan off of the heat, add the basil and stir it through.
Serve up and garnish with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. For an extra kick of flavour, drizzle over some more Banhoek Chilli Oil!
