Homemade Tomato Sauce with Vegetarian Meatballs
Need a simple midweek meal? Look no further! Clare’s cooking up a simple tomato based sauce made with ingredients from Fox & West! Served with spaghetti & parmesan, this is perfect for the entire family to enjoy!
Method:
1: Peel & Dice 1 Onion & 150g Carrots. Peel & crush 4 cloves of Garlic.
2: Heat a large pan with a tablespoon of oil on Medium/High Heat. Add the diced Onion & Carrot and sauté for 10 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and sauté for a minute more.
3: Add 3 tbsp of Tomato Puree and 2 tbsp of Balsamic Vinegar to deglaze the pan. Mix with the veg and cook until darkened slightly.
4: Add 800g (2 Tins) of Tinned Tomatoes to the pan and mix. Season to taste with Oregano, Salt & Pepper. Bring the sauce to the boil and then simmer for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
5: Whilst the sauce is cooking down, Add 300g Quorn Mince, 150g Wholemeal Breadcrumbs, 20g Parmesan & 1 Egg into a bowl and mix together. Roll into 20 Small Meatballs and set aside on a plate.
6: In a separate frying pan, set the heat to Medium/High and add a tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add each meatball to the pan and cook until golden brown. (Around 6-8 minutes).
7: Once the meatballs are cooked, add to the tomato sauce and mix together. Let the sauce cook for an additional 5 minutes with the meatballs and then turn off the heat.
8: Stir in some chopped Basil and serve with cooked Spaghetti and grated Parmesan on top.
