I made meatballs from scratch and flavored them with Dijon mustard! I used Pappardelle for meatballs and pasta here. Meatballs made with all beef have a darker meatier color and a more beefy flavor, they Everyone has their preferences for pasta, and whether you serve these meatballs with tagliatelle, penne or. Make the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, reserved onion and garlic mixture, bread crumbs, ricotta.

Instructions to make Pasta and meatballs:
  1. Heat oven to 200º
  2. Put all of the ingredients into a bowl and mix thoroughly. I'm making a tomato sauce so any herb or spice can be used. You can also change the meat - try pork mince with a touch of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of apple sauce or lamb mince with 1 tablespoon of ketchup and 1 tablespoon mint jelly.
  3. With wet hands to stop the meat sticking, form 16 balls, the size of a golf ball
  4. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and evenly space the meatballs. As they cook the fat will run off the paper to the tray underneath and the balls will not sit in fat
  5. Put tray in centre of oven and bake for 30 minutes
  6. Now to make the tomato sauce
  7. Put the oil into a saute pan and warm through, add the onions and gently fry until they become transparent
  8. Add the garlic and stir it in for about a minute - You want to allow the oils to come out of the garlic and flavour the dish, but you do NOT want it to burn
  9. Now add the tomatoes and bring it up to a fast simmer over a low heat - stir regularly and add water in to stop the sauce thickening too much and also to stop it from burning
  10. Add all of the seasonings - salt, pepper, sugar, herbs/spices and stir in. Allow the sauce a few minutes to simmer then add the wine if you're using it, otherwise keep simmering and adding the water for another 10 minutes
  11. At this point you have a basic tomato sauce, I'm going to blend mine into a puree, but you can leave it chunky and add in thick cut vegetables during the simmering time such as courgette and red pepper. Or if you like just a nice rustic sauce to serve with your pasta then whilst cooking the onion add chunks of chorizo and lardons (chunks of bacon) then vegetables at the simmering stage
  12. Choose your pasta - I prefer spaghetti but the children like fusilli - you can use any pasta of your choice
  13. Drain your cooked pasta and either pour in the sauce and set it over a low heat to allow the pasta to absorb the liquids from the sauce and add the meatballs whilst stirring gently to ensure there is no sticking or pile up your pasta, arrange your meatballs and pour over the sauce
  14. It's even better with a little fresh grated parmesan cheese either on the top of the dish or stirred into the plain pasta before serving
