Method:

For the meatballs
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients well ( I use my hands to smoosh it all together). Take small handfuls of the mixture and form meatballs (mine were about the size of a golf ball). Spray a wire rack with non-stick spray and place in a roasting pan. Place the meatballs ontop and bake for 20 minutes at 180°C.

For the sauce

In a saucepan, fry the onion and garlic until soft and translucent. Add the tomatoes, thyme, sugar and seasoning and allow to reduce for +- 15 minutes. (I thickened mine with just 2 tsp of Cornflour mixed with 100ml Milk) Serve with cooked pasta.
