For this dish, I prepared the meatball from scratch. Basically, I use the following:-
- 400g beef mince
- 1 large red onion, finely diced
- 3 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 tbs dried mixed herbs
- 1 medium sized egg
- 4 tbs of corn flour
- salt and pepper for seasoning

For the sauce, it is quite easy as it is basically simmering the cooked meatball in a tomato sauce. With addition of salt, pepper and few aromatic herbs, voila.... A Meatball in Tomato sauce. Just scoop the meat ball on top of al dente spaghetti, top with grated Parmesan and you are happy to go...

P/s: The meatballs can be cooked in sauce, cooled, and refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
