Method
-
step 1
Put the mince, ’nduja, onion, breadcrumbs, parmesan and herbs in a bowl. Season then mix really well with clean hands. Roll into 30 walnut-sized meatballs.
-
step 2
Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Cook the meatballs, turning, until golden all over (you might need to do this in batches). Once browned, scoop out of the pan.
-
step 3
To make the sauce, add 1 tbsp of oil to the same pan and gently cook the garlic for 2 mins. Add the chilli flakes, thyme and tomatoes, stir and bring to a simmer. Cook for 20 mins then add the meatballs and simmer for another 20 mins. Stir in the basil and serve with crusty bread.
