Quick & Easy Meatball Pasta

It's exam time so kids are either home before lunch or at home studying, so cooking lunch everyday is  standard. I'd spend my entire day in the kitchen if not for quick and easy meals like this one.

Grab 500g lean minced meat and add salt, pepper, dried oregano, a tablespoon of olive oil and a crushed clove of garlic. Mix and form little meatballs, smaller than a golfball - this is meant to be quick and easy so you can forego all the fussy bits.

Brown in a tablespoon of olive oil, this takes under 5 minutes. Without removing the meatballs from your pan, add one chopped onion and a crushed clove of garlic - I add two red birds eye chillies because my children can handle it and it's winter so we're boosting the immune system wherever we can. Allow this to gently cook on a low heat before adding two teaspoons of tomato paste and a can of chopped Italian tomatoes, season to taste with salt, pepper and a teaspoon of dried oregano. Cook for 10 minutes (not even) while you boil the pasta in well salted water.

Serve!

This meal takes less than 30 minutes to prepare and tastes really good!
