Meatballs with Rosemary and Tom Sauce instructions

  1. Wrap the crackers in a tea towel and smash up until fine, breaking up any big bits with your hands, then tip into a large bowl..

  3. Crack the egg into the bowl, then add a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper..
  4. Mix everything up well. Divide into 4 large and balls, then with wet hands divide each ball into 6 and roll into little meatballs – you should end up with about 24..
  5. Place the meatballs onto a plate, drizzle with oil and jiggle about to coat, then cover and place in the fridge until needed..
  6. Pick the basil leaves, keeping any smaller ones to one side for later. Peel and finely chop the onion and the garlic, and finely slice the chilli..
  7. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, add the onion and cook for 7 minutes, or until softened and lightly golden..

  10. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in another large frying pan over a medium heat, add the meatballs and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cooked through, turning regularly To check if they’re cooked, cut one opening – there should be no sign of pink..
  11. Once cooked, add the meatballs to the sauce..
  12. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water according to the packet instructions, then drain, my Italian friend says cook in water as salty as the sea. Return the pasta to the pan..
