Method
  1. Mix together mince, onion, garlic, soy sauce, egg, breadcrumbs and grated carrot.
  2. Shape into meatballs with damp, clean hands.
  3. Lightly spray a non-stick frying pan with a little cooking oil.
  4. Add meatballs to hot pan and cook until brown. Turn a few times so meatballs are browned all over.
  5. Add pasta sauce, canned tomatoes and water to pan. Simmer for around 15 minutes or until meatballs are no longer pink in the middle. Shake pan occasionally while cooking.
  6. While meatballs are cooking, bring a large pot of water to the boil and cook pasta. (Follow instructions on the packet).
  7. Drain pasta.
  8. Add meatballs and sauce to pasta. Mix gently so the meatballs don't break apart.
  9. Serve with steamed vegetables and a little grated cheese.
