Serves: 4-6
Ingredients:
- 840g (2 packets) Findus Meatballs
- Butter or margerine for frying
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions:
- Heat some butter or margerine in a frying pan. Heat the meatballs for 9-10 minutes. (If you prefer to use a microwave (750W), put the meatballs in a bowl without a lid and heat on full power for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally). Remove from pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and stir for 5-10 minutes until translucent.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add the wine and cook on high heat, scraping up all the brown bits in the pan, until almost all the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes, parsley, salt and pepper, cover the sauce and simmer on low heat for 2o minutes.
- Meanwhile cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water, according to the package instructions, until al dente. Drain.
- Add the meatballs to the tomato sauce and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- Serve hot on a bed of spaghetti with grated Parmesan.
