Meatballs with spaghetti

Western meals are usually easy to prepare especially the one pot dishes. Today I am using some leftover meatballs instead of minced meat for the sauce

Ingredients

Meat balls from Ikea (frozen)
1 green bell pepper
1 medium sized yellow onion
1 large can ready cut tomato
½ can of tomato paste (using the balance which was frozen)



Finely dice the pepper and onion





Heat 1 tbsp olive oil
Add the onion and some chopped garlic




Put in the tomato paste and canned peeled tomatoes and mix thoroughly




Put some hot water into the can and add to the sauce
Simmer for 5 minutes




Add the meat balls and green bell pepper
Put in a couple bay leaves and a sprinkle of mixed herbs
Cover and simmer on low fire for 30 minutes



Stir occasionally to make sure that it is cooked evenly





Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water until al dente





Stir frequently to make sure it is cooked evenly and does not stick to the pan




Drain and put the spaghetti into the sauce and mix thoroughly





Put some spaghetti onto a plate and sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top
