Preparation steps

For the meatballs, soak the bread in cream until soft. Squeeze the bread to remove excess cream, then mix together with the ground beef, egg, chopped parsley and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Form small balls from the mix.
2.
For the tomato sauce, peel and finely chop the garlic and the onions. Fry in hot olive oil in a saucepan until soft. Stir in the tomato concentrate, followed by the chopped tomatoes. Simmer gently for about 20 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and sugar.
3.
Cook the spaghetti in boiling, salted water according to instructions on the packet.
4.
Fry the meatballs in butter for 6 - 8 minutes on all sides. Drain the spaghetti and divide onto plates, arrange the meatballs on the top and spoon some of the tomato sauce over the top. Garnish with parsley and serve.
