Spaghetti meatballs with pork

Method

1. To make the meatballs: combine all the meatball ingredients into a large bowl. Using your hands mix thoroughly, kneading the mixture until sticky enough to form small golf-ball-sized balls. Use your hands to form the meat balls, using enough pressure to keep the ball shape. Cover with glad wrap and refrigerate for 15 min, while you prepare the sauce base.
2. Heat the oil in a large deep dish pan on the stove and add the onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent approx 5 min. Add the oregano, tomato, salt and sugar and simmer.
3. Gently place the meatballs into the simmering sauce and cover. Simmer for 45 min and check to make sure it doesn’t dry out. Additional water may be added during cooking. The long slow-cooking method keeps the pork tender and moist.
4. Cook the pasta as per packet instructions. Serve the meatballs with the pasta and garnish with parmesan and oregano.
