Method:

1. Mix all the ingredients, except the olive oil and prepared tomato sauce.

2. Put the mince mixture in a bowl and chill for about 30 minutes.

3. Remove from the fridge and roll the meat mixture into 2cm balls – about 24.

4. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the meatballs until golden. Remove from the pan and transfer to an ovenproof casserole dish.

5. Pour the tomato sauce over the meatballs and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling.

6. To serve: Serve over cooked pasta with a little grated Parmesan cheese for sprinkling on top.
