Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush with 1 tsp oil. Mash the lentils in a bowl with the back of a fork to break down a bit, but not completely. Stir in the pork, rosemary, mustard, garlic, some pepper to generously season, and mix well with the fork to distribute the lentils evenly. Divide the mixture into 4. Form each quarter into 5 small balls - to give you 20 in total - squeezing the mixture together well as you shape it. Lay the meatballs on the foil and roll them around in the oil to coat all over. Bake for 15 mins until cooked and lightly browned. Remove (leave the oven on) and set aside.
- While the meatballs cook, heat 2 tsp of the oil for the sauce in a large non-stick frying pan. Tip in the shallots and garlic, and fry on a medium heat for 3-4 mins until softened and tinged brown. Pour in the remaining 1 tsp oil, lay the tomatoes in the pan so most of them are cut-side down (to help release the juices), raise the heat and fry them for 3-4 mins or until the tomatoes are starting to soften and release their juices. Don't stir, or they may lose their shape. Splash in 125-150ml water so it all bubbles, and gently mix in the tomato purée. Lower the heat and simmer for 2 mins to create a juicy, chunky sauce. Season with the chilli flakes, oregano, pepper and a pinch of salt, and give it a quick stir, adding a drop more water if needed - you want it thick enough to coat the meatballs.
- Pour the sauce into a casserole dish, add the meatballs and spoon the sauce over them to coat. Cover with foil and bake for 10 mins while you cook the spaghetti.
- Boil a large saucepan of water. Add the spaghetti, stir and bring back to the boil. Cook for 10-12 mins, or following pack instructions, until al dente. Drain well, season with pepper and serve with the meatballs, sauce and a light sprinkling of oregano.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. To make meatballs, beat eggs lightly with a fork, add milk and bread, and let it stand for 5 minutes so the bread is moist.
- Add ground beef, onion, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend together well. Shape the mixture into meatballs (for some reason, making little tiny bite-sized meatballs makes them taste better, but takes up a lot of time as well).
- Place the meatballs on a greased cookie sheet in the oven for 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the meatballs.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a really big pot over med-high heat. Add the garlic and onion and saute until it's a light golden brown. Add the plum tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, basil, pepper, and the water to the pot. Make sure to crush up the tomatoes a bit with a spoon. Bring mixture to boil, then reduce heat to low. Continue simmering for half an hour.
- When meatballs are done, remove them from the cookie sheet and put them into the sauce mixture. Cover and simmer them in the sauce for about an hour, stirring occasionally.
- 20 minutes before the sauce is done, boil the spaghetti. Serve sauce and meatballs over the noodles and sprinkle with parmesan.
