Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, nutmeg and chili powder, then form the mixture into small balls with the palms of your hands.
- Heat some oil in frying pan, and cook onion and garlic for 5 minutes.
- Add the meatballs and brown all over.
- Add tomatoes, stock, wine, tomato paste, garlic powder, and salt and pepper, and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Place cooked pasta on a heated platter.
- Pour some sauce and meat balls over the pasta.
- Sprinkle with grated cheese and serve immediately.
Note:Sometimes I will make extra meatballs and flash freeze them, then store them in plastic bags. When I'm ready to use them, I make the sauce and add the frozen meatballs to the sauce allowing for a longer cooking time.
