This is a winter favourite of mine. I love pasta! My girlfriend makes the best homemade pasta too! We usually tend to make these dishes together.

Steps

1 hour

1

Place a pan on high heat and add a little olive oil. Fry the meatballs with the rosemary until golden brown. Place in a oven proof baking dish and bake for a further 20 minutes
2

In the same pan, place the olive oil and butter then melt. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes on a medium heat. Add the tomatoes and cook down to reduce. Add a teaspoon of sugar.
3

To deglaze the pan, add the wine and cook for a further 5 minutes until the alcohol has cooked off, leaving a full bodied flavour to the sauce.
4

Add the olive paste. Add the meatballs back to the pan to soak up the sauce. Boil the pasta and add to the pan to combine.
5

Serve with grated parmesan cheese.
