Meatball Pasta Bake

I got this out of the most recent Slimming World magazine, I  have modified it slightly : )

The recipe serves 4 or 2 greedy pigs!

This is free on Slimming World if you use your cheese as your Healthy Extra A or add 6 syns if not.

• 500g pork mince (less than 5% fat)
• 4 spring onions finely sliced
• oregano
• parsley
• rosemary
• thyme
• basil
• 1 tablespoon of tomato puree
• 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
• 3 garlic cloves finely sliced
• 1 onion finely sliced
• 2 tins of chopped tomatoes
• 50ml of chicken (or veg) stock
• 300g dried pasta
• 120g grated cheese ( I only used half of the cheese as was making it for two)

- Put your oven onto 180 Celsius.
-In a big bowl mix your mince, the spring onions, one of the garlic cloves sliced, Worcestershire sauce, tomato puree and a good sprinkling of the oregano, parsley, rosemary, thyme and basil.
- Start forming into balls, it should make 18-20 depending on how big you want your balls : )
-Heat a frying pan with some fry light and brown off the meatballs.

-It should take about 10-15 minutes to cook them. Once they are done take out of the frying pan and set aside.
- In a large saucepan spray some fry light and soften your onions and the two remaining sliced garlic cloves.

-While your onions are cooking, cook your pasta according to their instructions.

-Add your tinned tomatoes, a good sprinkling of oregano, chicken stock and some salt and pepper to your onions and garlic.

-Bring to the boil and then let it simmer for 15 minutes.
-Once your pasta is cooked pour it into a medium deep baking dish. Add your cooked meatballs.

-Add your cooked tomato sauce and spread over evenly.

-Sprinkle over your grated cheese and pop in the oven for 30 minutes or until golden and bubbling.

-Serve with some salad and tuck in : )
