Ingredients:

Serving

10 1/2 oz penne
1 lb ground beef
1 egg
1 tsp dried oregano
2 1/2 oz fresh breadcrumbs
1 tbsp olive oil
2 roasted red peppers, chopped (from a jar will do)
14 oz tomato and basil pasta sauce
2/3 cup beef broth or 2/3 cup red wine
2 oz fresh breadcrumbs
3 1/2 oz mozzarella cheese, grated
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped

Directions:

Set the oven to 350°F.
Cook the pasta in boiling water for 10 mins until just tender but still with a little bite.
Mix together the beef, egg, oregano, 1oz of the breadcrumbs and season well with salt and pepper.
Mix well and shape into about 20 meatballs.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the meatballs for about 10 mins, turning occasionally until browned.
Add the red pepper, pasta sauce and the beef broth or red wine. Bring to the boil.
Stir the drained pasta into the meatballs and pour into a large baking dish.
Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs, mozzarella and thyme and bake until golden and bubbling.
Serve with a large green salad and crusty bread.
