Instructions
- Place all of the meatball mix ingredients into a large mixing bowl, season to taste and mix well.
- Roll the meatballs between clean hands into 20 even-sized balls. It's best to weigh the meatball mix as a whole then divide by 20 or however many meatballs you'd like.
- Place a large high rimmed pan over high heat, add in the olive oil and heat. Once hot, add in the meatballs and sear for 3 minutes, ensuring they're well browned all over.
- Add in the diced onion and minced garlic, saute for 2 minutes, moving it regularly. Add in the tomato paste, mix and cook for 30 seconds. Add in the diced tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, oregano, thyme, stock and seasoning to taste, mix well and bring to a boil.
- Add in the spaghetti or pasta of choice, let sit on top of the sauce for 30 seconds then gently twist it into the sauce, spreading it out well (this can be cooked separately if you prefer). Reduce the heat to low, place on a lid and cook for 2 minutes less than the packet instructions (9-12 minutes depending on pasta shape).
- Remove the lid, check and adjust seasoning levels accordingly. Grate over some parmesan cheese to taste, place on the lid and cook for 1 minute to melt the cheese. Remove from the heat and serve. Garnish with fresh basil, freshly grated parmesan cheese, extra virgin olive oil and cracked black pepper. Dig in.

Recipe Notes
One-Pot Meatballs Storage Instructions
This can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 6 months, both held in an airtight container. If frozen, allow thawing overnight in the fridge before reheating.
One-Pot Meatballs Reheating Instructions
To reheat, this can be done in a couple of ways.
- First, place it back into a pan over medium heat and heat gently until hot. Doing it this way, you’ll need to add some canned diced tomatoes to refresh it, as it can quickly dry out.
- The second way is to place it in the microwave. I wouldn’t usually say this, but this is the best way to reheat it as it won’t dry out, and there will be no need to add anything to refresh it. If you reheat it this way, heat it in bursts, giving it a gentle mix between each burst until hot throughout.
