Instructions
- For the meatballs, place all the meatball ingredients into a bowl and mix together with your hands. Shapes the mixture into golfball-sized balls and then dredge with flour.
- For the sauce, heat the oil in a large frying pan and then fry the onions on a medium heat until they have softened but have not coloured.
- Add the garlic and chilli and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Then add the rest of the ingredients and bring to the boil. Reduce the volume of wine to nearly half.
- Add the meatballs, cover and cook for 12-15 minutes turning occasionally. Make sure the meatballs are cooked through but not over cooked.
- Remove the meatballs, taste the sauce, if too spicy for your taste add the creme fraiche and mix through. Now stir through the cooked spaghetti.
- Plate the spaghetti and top with the meatballs and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
