SAUCE
- 500ml passata

Instructions
In a large bowl combine the meatball ingredients. Roll mixture into balls.
Heat the butter in a large, high sided pan with a lid, over med-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook 5-6 minutes, turning until browned all over.
Add the passata, water, thyme and bring to the boil.
Break up the spaghetti slightly, add to the pan and make sure it is submerged in the liquid. Cover with the lid, reduce heat to low and cook 10-12 minutes. Stir 2-3 times to make sure the pasta isn’t sticking together and add a splash of water if needed.
After this everything will be cooked, you wont need to drain anything just scoop out with tongs and serve!
Notes
You can add some diced vegetables with the passata if you like. Garlic, carrot and celery would work well.
