- Boil a pan of water and add a pinch of salt. Cook the spaghetti in 8-10 minutes al dente. Then drain the water.
- Peel and chop the onion and garlic. Wash the celery and cut into half moons. Keep some green celery to garnish the dish. Cut the fresh basil into strips.
- Heat some oil in a frying pan and fry the onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Add the celery and stir-fry for 5 minutes over a medium heat. Add the cherry tomato sauce and leave to simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- In the meantime, mix the minced beef with half of the basil, Italian herbs, salt and pepper and roll into small meatballs. Heat a dry frying pan and fry the meatballs for about 5 minutes until lightly browned all over. Add the meatballs to the tomato sauce and heat for another 5 minutes.
- Serve the meatballs in tomato sauce with the wholegrain spaghetti. Garnish with some remaining basil and green celery.
TIP
The sauce is also delicious with some oregano.
