Ingredients

Method

1.Peel then finely chop the onion. Heat the oil in a large heavy-based saucepan on the stove over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the onion to the pan; cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for about 4 minutes or until soft. Remove the onion from the pan and put it in a small heatproof bowl.
2.Meanwhile, squeeze sausage meat from casings into a medium bowl. Throw away casings (the skin that covers the sausages). Roll the sausage mixture into 2.5cm (1-inch) balls with wet hands.
3.Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the meatballs to the pan; cook for about 5 minutes, turning, until browned all over.
4.Meanwhile, peel then crush the garlic. Add the garlic to the pan with the onion and undrained canned tomatoes, stock and the water; heat until the mixture boils.
5.Reduce heat to medium-low; add the pasta to the pan and cover with a lid. Cook, stirring every few minutes to stop the pasta from sticking to the base of the pan, for about 15 minutes or until the pasta is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Remove the pan from the heat; leave the lid on the pan and stand for 5 minutes before serving. Season to taste with salt and pepper; stir in oregano.
6.Divide pasta and meatballs into serving bowls; sprinkle with the cheese.

Squeeze the sausage meat from the casings into a medium bowl. Using wet hands, roll the sausage mixture into meatballs. Cook the meatballs over a medium-high heat until browned all over.
