My wife made the tomato sauce. Fry the chopped onions and the chopped garlic in olive oil. Add the tomato paste and toast it. Add the tomato puree and cook it. Season it with the Italien herbs, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. For the finishing touch add some more olive oil and a big sip of Shiraz.
While my wife prepared the sauce, I made the meatballs. Put the minced beef in a bowl and add the meat rub, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper We were considering to also add a chopped or thinly sliced chili. Next time we’ll definitely do that. and mingle it. Form the meat to small meatballs with a diameter between one and two centimeters. Strew some salt and pepper over the meatballs.
Heat up a frying pan with (sun flower) oil and fry the meatballs for two minutes on one side, another two minutes from the other side (until they are crunchy and dark brown) then fry them a little more while tossing them around every now and then. Put the meatballs into the tomato sauce.
Boil water and cook the linguine. Serve the linguine topped with the meatball tomato sauce.
