75ml milk
350g turkey mince
2 tsp dried oregano
small bunch flatleaf parsley , chopped
2 tsp olive oil
680g bottle onion and garlic passata

Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan, then brown the meatballs for 5 mins, turning to cook all over. Pour in the passata, sugar, remaining oregano and most of the remaining parsley. Stir well, then simmer for 8-10 mins until the meatballs are just cooked through.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to pack instructions. Season the sauce, spoon the meatballs and sauce over the pasta, then sprinkle over any remaining parsley.
