PASTA WITH MEATBALLS AND HERB SAUCE
Before you use herbs as a main ingredient - it helps to know which ones work on a grand scale. Parsley, obviously, works in abundance: it's clean-tasting, pleasantly grassy and almost never overwhelming. You can add literally a bunch (bunches!) of it to salad, soup, eggs, pasta, grains or beans. The same is largely true of basil, and you can use other mild herbs - chervil, chives, cilantro, dill, shiso - by at least the handful. (Mint is also useful but will easily take over a dish if you add too much of it. But all of these are great for making herb pastes, or pestos, alone or in combination. Use the same technique you use for basil pesto.)

Steps:
- Mix together the basil, parsley and chives. Soak the bread in the milk for 5 minutes, then gently squeeze any excess milk from the bread; discard the milk. Combine the bread with the meat, 1 cup of the herbs and some salt and pepper; shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Put 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the meatballs in a single layer (work in batches if necessary). Cook, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Cook the pasta in the boiling water until tender but not mushy. While the pasta is cooking, purée 11/2 cups of the herbs with 4 tablespoons oil, the garlic and some salt and pepper in a mini food processor or blender; leave the sauce rough or add a little water if you want it smoother. Drain the pasta, reserving about a cup of its cooking liquid. Toss the pasta with the herb sauce and most of the remaining herbs, adding the reserved liquid if the mixture seems dry. Top with the meatballs, garnish with Parmesan and the last of the herbs and serve.

Steps:
- PREP/PREPARE
- Chef's Note: Later on, in this recipe, I'm going to give you some recommendations for the meatballs, plus the alfredo and pasta sauce. You could always buy frozen meatballs, and jars of sauce... but where's the fun in that?
- Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
- Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 350f (175c).
- Add the alfredo sauce to the cooked pasta, and toss to combine.
- Use some oil, or cooking spray on the cupcake holders.
- Fill each of the cups with the pasta, and press down.
- Add the provolone to the top, and press down.
- Place in the preheated oven, and bake until the cheese melts, and begins to bubble, about 20 - 25 minutes.
- Chef's Note: Remove from oven, ladle some pasta sauce on a nice serving plate, and place the pasta cupcake on top of the sauce.
- Add a meatball, and sprinkle with Parmesan.
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Serve while nice and hot... possibly with some crusty bread. Enjoy.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Steps:
- Mix the grated onion, 1 crushed garlic clove, mince, breadcrumbs, milk, parmesan and parsley in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. Mash the mixture together with your hands until combined. Mould the mix into small balls (about walnut-sized) with damp hands. There will be about 20 meatballs.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a deep frying pan and fry the meatballs for 6-8 mins until golden brown all over. Fry in batches if you need to - they don't need to be cooked through, just browned on the outside. Set aside on a plate.
- Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in the pan and fry the chopped onion for 5 mins until softened. Add the remaining garlic, fry for another minute, then add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 10 mins until thickened and the tomatoes have broken down. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta for 5 mins less than the pack instructions state, in boiling salted water. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
- Stir the meatballs into the tomato sauce, adding a splash of water if too thick, and bring to a simmer. Drain the pasta and tip into an ovenproof dish. Pour over the sauce and meatballs and mix well. Stir in most of the mozzarella, then scatter the remaining over the top. Bake for 15-20 mins until the cheese is golden and bubbling, and the top is slightly crisp.

- Place all of the meatball ingredients into a large bowl (apart from the mozzarella) and combine together using your hands. Place in the fridge whilst you prep the tomato sauce.
- In a large pan, heat a glug of oil over a medium heat and put in the garlic and chilli. Let them cook for a couple of minutes until they start to soften. Then add in the rest of the ingredients for the sauce. Turn the heat up to medium high until the sauce starts to boil. Turn it down slightly so that the sauce is on a steady simmer. Leave to simmer for around 30mins until it has reduced.
- Take the meatball mixture out of the fridge. Grab a golf ball size piece of meat and flatten it in your hand. Pop a cube of mozzarella in the middle and work the meat up and around the cheese until it is covered. Repeat until you have 12 little meatballs. and pop them back in the fridge.
