A gourmet twist on a family classic - meatballs in pasta sauce.

250g pork mince
250g veal mince
1 onion, fnely chopped
1/2 cup (35g) fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup (40g) parmesan, grated
250g ricotta
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 eggs
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups (750ml) Ardmona Pureed Tomatoes

Method

1.

Combine all ingredients, except oil and passata, in a bowl. Season well, then, using your hands, form mixture into walnut-sized balls and place on a baking paper-lined baking tray. Chill for 30 minutes.
2.

Heat oil in a fry pan over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning, for 3-4 minutes until browned all over. Drain fat, leaving 1 tbs oil in the pan, then return to medium heat.
3.

Add the passata and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 25 minutes or until reduced and the meatballs are cooked through.
