Ingredients

Spaghetti:

• 350 g Dry Spaghetti
• 1 tsp Salt/Namak
• Water

Meatballs:

• 700 g Minced Meat (I used lamb)
• 50 g Breadcrumbs
• 50 g Parmesan Cheese
• 1 Egg
• 1 tsp Salt/Namak
• 1 tsp Black Pepper/Kali Mirch Powder
• 1 tsp Chilli Flakes
• 1 tsp Onion Granules
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Dried Oregano
• Coriander/Dhaniyaa finely chopped

Marinara Sauce:

• 50 ml Olive Oil
• 2 Onions
• 10 Garlic Cloves/Lehsan
• 800 g Canned Tomatoes
• 1 tsp Salt/Namak
• 1 tsp Black Pepper/Kali Mirch Powder
• 1 tsp Dried Basil
• 1 tsp Dried Oregano
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Chilli Flakes
• 20 g Basil finely chopped
• 200 ml Water

Instructions

• In a large bowl combine the minced meat with the rest of the meatball ingredients then mix until well combined
• Use your hands to make equal sized meatballs
• Heat up the olive oil on medium heat in a pan then add the meatballs and lightly fry on medium heat, flipping every 1-2 minutes to ensure that all sides cook – the meatballs will not be cooked through at this point
• Remove the meatballs and set aside then add the finely diced onions to the same pan before cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened
• Add the finely chopped garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes
• Add the canned tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes and bring to a gentle bubble
• Add the salt, black pepper, dried basil, dried oregano, paprika and chilli flakes then cook for 4-5 minutes
• Add the finely chopped basil and water then use a hand blender to blend the sauce until smooth – if you do not have a hand blender then transfer the sauce to a normal blender and blender, alternatively you could skip the blending!
• Once blended gently simmer the sauce for 20 minutes to allow the flavour to develop – you can do it for less time if you prefer (or more!)
• As the sauce is simmering prepare the spaghetti by bring a large pot of salted water to a boil then add the spaghetti and stir it gently until all the strands sink beneath the water level – ensure that the strands are not stuck together
• Add the meatballs and submerge into the sauce before reducing the heat and covering then cook for 18-20 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through
• Add the cooked spaghetti and mix until the sauce coats the strands and the meatballs are evenly distributes within the pasta
• Your spaghetti and meatballs are ready!
