Step 1

Put the oil into a large heavy-based frying pan. Add the meatballs and cook over a medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned. Scoop out and set aside. Tip the onion into the pan, lower the heat, season with a little salt and fry for about 10 minutes, until soft and turning golden.

Stir in the garlic and harissa and cook for a couple of minutes more. Add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes, then tuck in the meatballs. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through with no pink meat and the juices run clear

As the meatballs cook, boil the spaghetti in salted water for 9 minutes, then reserve a mug of pasta water and drain.
