How do I prepare Beef Meatball Marinara?

MELTING MOMENT: Top the saucy meatballs with the halved bocconcini balls, the grated mozzarella cheese, and ¾ of the chopped thyme. Pop the dish into the hot oven and roast until the cheese is melted and the meatballs are cooked through, 8-10 minutes. MMMEATBALLS: In a bowl, combine the mince, ¼ of the diced onion, ½ the chopped oregano, and seasoning. Wet your hands slightly and shape the mince mixture into 4-5 meatballs per portion. Set aside. GARLIC BREAD: In a small bowl, combine the grated garlic, the remaining thyme, 40ml of oil, and seasoning. Place the baguette on a chopping board and cut 4 horizontal incisions along the top - don’t cut all the way through! Smear each incision with the garlic & herb oil and wrap the baguettes in tinfoil. Place on a baking tray and pop in the hot oven. Bake until warmed through, 10-12 minutes. In the final 3-5 minutes, remove the tinfoil and bake until crisp. MAKE THE MARINARA: Return the pan to medium heat with all the pan juices. Add a knob of butter. When hot, fry the remaining onion until soft and browned, 3-4 minutes. Add the spicy rub and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Pour in the wine and simmer until almost evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the tomato passata, 200ml of water, and simmer until slightly reduced, 5-6 minutes. Add a sweetener (to taste) and seasoning. Mix through the meatballs and pour the mixture into an ovenproof dish. BROWN THE MEATBALLS: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the meatballs until browned but not cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan. WINNER OF A DINNER: Plate up the meatballs and all the sauce, and side with the garlic-herb baguettes to scoop up all the deliciousness. Garnish with the remaining oregano. Well done, Chef!
