Cooking Steps
ā¢ Preheat oven to 220Ā°C/200Ā°C fan-forced. ā¢ In a medium bowl, combine lamb mince, Italian herbs, vegetable stock powder, fine breadcrumbs and the egg. ā¢ 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. ā¢ Bake meatballs until lightly browned, 10-15 minutes. ā¢ Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato.
ā¢ 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. ā¢ Reduce oven to 180Ā°C/160Ā°C fan-forced. Return meatballs to the oven and bake until tomatoes are softened, a further 50-55 minutes. ā¢ 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.
ā¢ While the meatballs are baking uncovered, bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water until 'al dente', 9 minutes. ā¢ 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. ā¢ When the meatballs are ready, transfer to a plate. Gently stir baby spinach leaves and spaghetti through the sauce in the baking dish. Season to taste.
ā¢ Divide spaghetti and sauce between bowls. ā¢ Top with slow-cooked Italian lamb meatballs. ā¢ Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
