Cooking Steps

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. In a medium bowl, combine beef mince, Italian herbs, vegetable stock, fine breadcrumbs and the egg. Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of the mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil,
gently turning to coat.
• Bake meatballs until lightly browned, 10-15 minutes. Cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato.

Little cooks: Join the fun by helping combine the ingredients and shaping the mixture into meatballs! Make sure to wash your hands well afterwards.

• Remove baking dish from oven, then add tomato, passata, garlic & herb seasoning, the salt, water, butter and brown sugar. Turn meatballs to coat. Cover baking dish tightly with foil.
• Reduce oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Return meatballs to the oven and bake until tomatoes are softened, a further 50-55 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Uncover, then gently stir meatballs and sauce. Return to the oven. Bake, uncovered, until sauce is slightly thickened, a further 10-15 minutes.

• While the meatballs are baking uncovered, bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Cook fettuccine in the boiling water until 'al dente', 11 minutes.
• When pasta is ready, reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people), then drain pasta and return to saucepan.
• When the meatballs are ready, transfer to a plate. Gently stir baby spinach leaves and fettuccine through the sauce in the baking dish. Season to taste.
