Valentine's Day, also called All Hearts' Day and Valentine's Day, is celebrated on February 14, every year. It is a celebration of love and has long traditions in England. The day has been used to express love by giving flowers, candy and valentine cards. I have no special relationship with this day, but anyway, what is more romantic than Lady and the wanderer in the backyard, who shares a plate of pasta and meatballs. Since I found heart paste at Claras in Hokksund, the choice was easy. It had to be heart paste and not spaghetti for the meatballs.
Meat balls:
3 tablespoons ironing
2 egg
2 cloves garlic
1 ts oregano
1 ts basilikun
1/2 grated onion
1 handful of finely chopped parsley
600 g chop dough
1 bag grated parmesan
1 ts salt
Knead everything well, shape into round buns and brown with butter or oil in a frying pan.
Tomato sauce:
1 shredded onion
2 cloves finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 bay leaf
1.5 box chopped tomatoes, preferably Mutti
1 cinnamon bark
1 pinch of cayenne paper
Salt and pepper
Brown onion and garlic in butter. Add the rest of the ingredients and cook for a long time. Preferably 1 hour or more, if you have time. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Serve with parmesan and a tassel of parsley.
Happy Valentine's Day to all the romantics out there!
