Ingredients

Meatballs:
1 slice of Glutafin White or Brown Loaf, made into breadcrumbs
500g lean minced beef
1 medium egg, beaten
2 tbsp Parmesan or Manchego cheese, freshly grated
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp dried oregano or mixed herbs
Sea salt and cracked black pepper

Tomato sauce:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp dried oregano or mixed herbs
400g canned tomatoes with herbs
100ml red wine or gluten free beef or vegetable stock
1 tbsp tomato puree
Sea salt and cracked black pepper

300-350g Glutafin gluten free Spaghetti

Method

1. Place the minced beef in a large bowl; break down the meat with a fork before adding all the remaining meatball ingredients. Then, using your hands mix to combine, before shaping into small balls. Place the meatballs on a plate that you have lined with cling film and put in the fridge if preparing in advance.

2. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, add the meat balls and cook over a moderately high heat until evenly browned. Remove onto a plate.

3. Add the onion, garlic and oregano or mixed herbs to the frying pan and fry for 3-4 minutes. Then add the tomatoes, red wine or stock, tomato puree and seasoning. Return the meatballs to the pan and cook for about 15 minutes with a lid partially covering the pan.

4. Meanwhile to cook the spaghetti, boil a large pan of salted water containing a drizzle of olive oil. Slowly add the spaghetti in small bundles, constantly stirring with a pasta spoon or slotted spoon. Return the water to the boil and then reduce so the water is just bubbling and cook for a further 8-9 minutes. Drain in a colander and pour over some boiling water to remove any excess starch.

5. Divide spaghetti between bowls, top with 5 meatballs and some sauce. Delicious topped with Parmesan cheese shavings.
