- Preheat the oven to 180c. Make up the meatballs by simply rolling the mince into walnut -sized balls. Fry them over a high heat in a non-stick frying pan (using either low calorie cooking spray or spray oil) for 5 minutes, turning them often to brown on all sides.
- To make the sauce, use a hand-blender or a food processor to whizz up the tomatoes, garlic and chilli. Blend until completely smooth, then season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the sauce to a saucepan, bring up to a simmer and then add the cooked meatballs
- Simmer the sauce and meatballs gently for 30 minutes
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta for 12 minutes, drain, then rinse with cold water to prevent it getting sticky.
- Once the sauce has cooked for 30 minutes, stir the pasta through and spoon it all into an ovenproof dish.
- Tear up the mozzarella and distribute it evenly over the top, then sprinkle over the Parmesan.
- Grind some more black pepper on top.
- Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is golden brown on top. Serve up with torn basil leaves torn on top, and chopped red chilli (if using).
