Method
- In a large bowl, mix the beef, half the parsley, 2 garlic cloves, ½ tsp smoked paprika and a grind of black pepper together until the ingredients come together in a uniform ball. Shape into 12 equal-sized balls.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 6-8 mins until evenly golden. Add the onion and pepper and cook for a further 5 mins until starting to soften. Pour in the passata, ½ tsp smoked paprika and a pinch of sugar and simmer for 5 mins.
- Cook the spaghetti according to packet instructions. Drain, reserving a mug of the cooking water and toss through the tomato and meatball sauce, adding a splash of the cooking water if the sauce appears too thick.
- Serve scattered with the remaining parsley with a little rocket on the side for added freshness.
