Spaghetti and Meatballs

Not covered in cheese :)
These have been a hit and I have made them regularly since.

500g beef mince
2 tbsp chopped parsley
1/4 cups GF bread crumbs
1 egg equivalent of No Egg
salt and pepper
1/2 finely grated medium carrot
1/4 finely grated med-large zucchini
1-2 clove garlic, crushed 
1 tin diced tomatoes
1/2 same tin water
pinch of salt
1/2 -1 tsp sugar
GF spaghetti for 4

Combine mince, crumbs, No egg, parsley, vegetables, salt and pepper and combine well with your hands. Form meatballs into balls that are about 2 tablespoons worth. I often do this while the kids are in bed so I tend to cover and refrigerate for a few hours. Probably not a requirement but I can't tell you!

Heat some oil in a pan with the garlic. As the garlic starts to fry, add the meatballs and cook until they are browned all over.

Add tomatoes, water and sugar and salt (to taste) and simmer for about 10-15mins, adding more water if necessary and then keep simmering until it is reduced to a sauce.
In the meantime prepare pasta according to instructions and drain when ready.

Serve meatballs and sauce over the spaghetti and for those who can tolerate dairy, add freshy grated parmesan cheese.
