If making the sauce, start this first, it takes a while
Fry off the onion & garlic in the oil gently until the onion is translucent
Add the tomatoes, salt, sugar & bay then cover and simmer for 1 & a half hours

Add the tomato puree, basil and pepper then simmer a further 30 minutes until done
For the meatballs, preheat the oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350°F and line a baking tray with foil
Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Add more breadcrumbs if too wet or a splash of dairy-free milk if too dry but don't overmix or they'll be dense
Rub a little oil on your hands then start forming balls with the mixture and place on the baking tray
You should get 24 balls. Bake for 30 minutes. If you make larger or smaller sized balls you'll need to adjust the cooking time
Put your pan of spaghetti on to cook to time with the meatballs coming out of the oven - if you're serving with spaghetti....
To turn the meatballs into eyeballs either cut a piece of meatball out and stick a half olive in the hole. Add some mustard for a creepy pupil.....
...or use slices of olive and stick on with mustard...
Spoon the sauce over the spaghetti/sub roll and place some eyeballs on top
The sub looks really cool when you put the top back on!
If you can't tolerate tomatoes, please look up my Tomato-Free Tomato Sauce recipe from my profile and sub the same weight of sauce for the tomato ketchup /paste in the ingredients list
