Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

with Italian herbs

Start by making the meatballs. Mix the ground beef with an egg, salt, pepper, oregano, and basil. Form them into walnut-sized balls and fry them well in a hot pan with a little olive oil. Continue frying on a lower heat for about 5 minutes (even if the balls seem very soft at first, they’ll be just right in the sauce!). Now add the tomatoes to the pan and thin them with a little water. Season the contents of the pan with the stock (a good 3 tablespoons), salt, pepper, herbs, and a little sugar. Stir in the sour cream and simmer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted water as usual.
