Knead all the ingredients for the meatball dough. (If you like, finely dice an onion and a garlic clove, sauté them in a little oil, and then add them to the meatball mixture once slightly cooled.) Tear off a sufficiently large piece from a roll of cling film and place it on the work surface. Spread the meatball dough evenly on top with a spoon, forming a 30 cm x 40 cm rectangle. Spread the minced meat with the tomato paste, arrange the ham and then the cheese evenly on top, leaving a border of about 2 cm all around. Using the film, roll the meatballs into a roll from the long side and place them on the cut side. Depending on the size of the baking dish, cut the roll into 3 or 4 pieces. Mix the ingredients for the sauce and pour into a microwave- and oven-safe dish with a lid. Place the rolls on top. Close the dish and microwave for 15 minutes at 600 watts. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 200°C (fan). Remove the dish from the microwave, remove the lid, and sprinkle the rolls with the fried onions and cheese. Place the dish uncovered on a rack in the oven for 15 minutes to bake. My tip: This goes well with gnocchi and broccoli.
