Meatballs with tomato sauce

This is a healthy and delicious recipe, I think from Betty Crocker, that I adapted to remove milk. Serve over pasta and with a green salad.

Ingredients

Steps

Meatballs

§  ½ kg minced meat

§  ½ cup breadcrumbs

§  ¼ cup soy milk

§  ½ tsp salt

§  1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

§  ¼ tsp pepper

§  1 small onion, finely chopped

§  1 egg

 

1.  Heat oven to 200oF.

2.  Line an oven pan with foil and lightly grease.

3.  Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl.

4.  Shape into 24 (1 ½ inch – 4 cm) meatballs.

5.  Place 1 inch apart on the pan.

6.  Bake uncovered 18 to 22 minutes until the meatballs are evenly browned no longer pink in the middle.

 

Tomato sauce

§  1 Tbsp olive oil

§  1 onion, chopped

§  1 carrot, finely chopped

§  2 garlic cloves, minced

§  800g crushed tomatoes

§  1 Tbsp parsley

§  1 Tbsp basil

§  1/4 tsp dried oregano

§  3/4 tsp salt and pepper

1.  Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, then cook the garlic, carrots, and onion for about 5 minutes., stirring until tender

2.   Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, then lower heat to medium-low and cook for 15 minutes, or until reduced to a thick sauce.

3.   Serve with pasta and meatballs.
