Instructions
TO MAKE THE MEATBALLS:

- Heat a little vegetable oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, add the meatballs and cook thoroughly.
- Once done, put aside on a plate.
TO MAKE THE SAUCE:
- In the pan where you browned the meatballs, add and saute your chopped onions and garlic.
- Next, add your chopped tomatoes, chopped chilli, a sprig of rosemary, and tomato passata. Allow this all to simmer for a while.
- Once the sauce simmered, add the meatballs. Simmer for a few minutes, stirring carefully. Add the chopped basil.
- Serve on top of beautifully al dente spaghetti and garnish with cheese and fresh basil. Enjoy!
