500g beef mince
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
500g tomato passata (approx)
1 and a half onion
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 TBsp tomato ketchup

For the meatballs, finely chop the onion and parsley.
Using your hands, in a bowl mix in the beef, 1 onion, parsley, salt and pepper.
Roll into balls and then roll lightly in plain flour.
