MEATBALLS IN TOMATO, RED WINE AND BASIL SAUCE WITH FRESH PASTA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan. Fry the meatballs until cooked all the way through. Set aside, leaving the juices and remaining oil in the pan.
• Add the chopped onion to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Pour in the red wine and cook until reduced by half.
• Stir in the chopped tomatoes, chili and fresh basil and season generously with salt and pepper. Stir the meatballs into the sauce and cook on a moderate heat for 10 minutes.
• Cook the tagliatelle according to the packet's instructions. Spoon the meatballs and sauce over the pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.
