Ingredients For The Meatballs For The Sauce

1. Begin by creating the meatballs. Using your hands, combine the mince, onion, garlic, sage, paprika, and seasoning in a bowl and form into 24 meatballs of equal size.
2. In a large nonstick frying pan, spray with cooking spray and heat over high heat. Cook the meatballs in batches until browned, then set aside. (Don't worry if they aren't fully cooked through at this stage.)
3. To make the sauce, spray the frying pan with more cooking spray and reduce heat to medium. Sauté the onion for 10 minutes, adding water if it begins to stick.
4. Stir in the remaining sauce ingredients (excluding tomatoes and spinach), add 350ml of boiling water, and simmer.
5. Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
6. Add the meatballs to the sauce and cook for 5 minutes before adding the tomatoes. Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and hot.
7. Add the spinach and cook for 2 minutes, or until wilted.
8. Drain the pasta and combine with the meatballs and sauce. Adjust seasonings to taste before serving.
