- Meanwhile, break up the meat in a bowl with a wooden spoon, until it becomes a sticky paste.
- Stir in the bread crumbs, garlic, herbs, and spices.

- Pour the tomato sauce over the meatballs.
- Lower the heat, cover the pan, and simmer for 30 minutes, turning once or twice.
- Add a little extra water if the sauce is beginning to become dry.
- Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to a boil.

- Enjoy!
