Preparation method

How do you make this?

For the tomato sauce, fry the finely chopped garlic and onion with chili powder in olive oil.

Deglaze with the passata, season with salt and pepper, taste and simmer for 10 minutes.

Mix all ingredients for the meatballs, form golf ball -sized balls and color them in olive oil. They don't have to be completely cooked because they are still going into the oven.

Place the meatballs in a large baking dish, pour the sauce over it, place the cherry tomatoes on top, cut the mozzarella into discs and divide over the whole, along with half the basil.

Bake for 25 minutes in a preheated oven at 195 ° C and finish with the rest of the basil.

Serve with pasta, rice, orzo, or potato puree.
