Crushed tomatoes, veal meatballs with mascarpone and fresh basil |

Preparation time: 60 min

Preheat your oven at 350 °F

• Tomato sauce

  Slice the tomatoes to 1cm thickness and lay them side by side on a baking tray.  Sprinkle with chopped garlic, salt and pepper.  Cook for about an hour at 350°C.  Add the basil when you remove the tomatoes from the oven and then mix it all together in a stand mixer.

• Meatballs

  Finely chop the shallots and place them in a mixing bowl with the rest of the ingredients.  Mix until all the ingredients are well combined and make balls of approximately 30g.  In a skillet with oil, color the balls on each side and then transfer to an oven proof tray.  Finish cooking them in the oven for about 12 minutes.
