Bereiding

  1. Roast the garlic

    • Heat the oven and place the garlic cloves in a small baking dish with a drizzle of olive oil.
    • Roast until soft and golden, then set aside.
    Stap 1
  2. Make the meatballs

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, parmesan, half of the chopped onion, salt and pepper.
    • Mix gently until just combined, then roll into even meatballs.
    Stap 2
  3. Brown the meatballs

    • Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
    • Brown the meatballs on all sides until deeply colored; they will finish cooking in the sauce.
    Stap 3
  4. Start the tomato sauce

    • In a saucepan, soften the remaining onion in olive oil over medium heat.
    • Add the roasted garlic, crushing it into the pan, then pour in the crushed tomatoes and add the oregano, salt and pepper.
    Stap 4
  5. Simmer the meatballs in the sauce

    • Lower the browned meatballs into the sauce.
    • Cover and simmer gently, turning occasionally, until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
    Stap 5
  6. Finish and serve

    • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning.
    • Scatter the torn basil over the top and serve hot.
