Directions

1. To make the meatballs, split the sausage casings and extract the meat into a large bowl.
2. Add the mince, onion, parsley, parmesan, breadcrumbs, beaten eggs and seasoning.
3. Mix together well, the more you mash the mince, the more tender your meatballs will be.
4. Once you are happy with the mixture, pre-heat your oven to 220 degrees Celsius.
5. Onto a baking tray, roll out your meat balls into a similar size to golf balls and place on the tray.

9. Heat oil in a large sauce pan, add your garlic and sizzle for 1 minute.
10. Stir in the tomatoes, wine, sugar, parsley and seasoning. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in fresh basil leaves.
