Spaghetti and Meatballs



Tonight we felt like a yummy, warming winter meal and decided on Spaghetti and Meatballs.  One of my fave's.

Ingredients
400 grams premium, low fat minced beef
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Watties tomato sauce
1/2 cup fine breadcrumbs
Chopped fresh basil
Chopped fresh Italian parsley
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Parmesan cheese
Linguine

Directions
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
In a bowl combine all ingredients together and mix well.  Add more/less breadcrumbs if required.
Take tablespoon sized amounts of the combined mixture and roll into balls.  Place in an oven proof dish and cook for 10 - 12 minutes or until cooked through. 



While meatballs are cooking cook spaghetti to packet instructions and prepare the pasta sauce as per my Extra Easy Tomato Pasta Sauce recipe.
When the meatballs are cooked through place on top of spaghetti, cover with pasta sauce and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
