Creamy Spaghetti & Meatballs
  1. Heat a film of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside. Drain the pan of any excess fat.
  2. At the same time, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. In the same frying pan used for the meatballs, add another film of oil and heat over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the passata and stir to combine. Let it simmer over a gentle heat for 8-10 minutes. If the passata evaporates too quickly then add a little more or water and make sure the heat is low.
  5. Stir in the cream, half of the Parmesan cheese, half of the basil, the oregano, and a good sprinkle of salt and pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
  6. Add the meatballs back into the pan with the creamy tomato sauce. Stir to coat the meatballs in the sauce and heat through for a couple of minutes.
  7. Divide the spaghetti between bowls and top with the meatballs and sauce.
  8. Divide the pasta among shallow bowls and top with the bacon and mushroom sauce. Sprinkle with parsley and a grind of black pepper.
