Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 180C / 160C fan/ gas mark 4 / 350F.
- Heat the oil in a large pan or hob-proof, casserole dish. Add the large onion, half the garlic, carrots and courgette and soften for 3-4 minutes on a low heat. Sprinkle the oregano over the top, then pour in the passata and stir. Allow to simmer gently on a very low heat.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the small onion, then place in a food processor. Add the parsley, remaining garlic, egg and seasoning. Blitz until smooth.
- Pour this mixture onto the mince, mix well with your hands. Roll into balls roughly the size of a £2 coin and place on a baking sheet covered in baking parchment or foil (or just greased with a little olive oil). Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Five minutes before the meatballs are due to come out of the oven, put the pasta on to cook. Cook according to packet instructions / your own preferences.
- When the meatballs are cooked, add them to the sauce and stir gently. Allow to simmer for 5 more minutes or until your pasta is ready.
- Serve the meatballs and sauce with pasta and an extra sprinkle of parsley.
