To make the sauce, heat a large frying pan over a medium heat. Spray with cooking spray and add the garlic, simmer gently for 2-3 mins.

Add the tomatoes and simmer for 15 mins, breaking up the tomatoes as the mixture cooks.

To make the meatballs, add the mince, onion, and chili into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Using your hands, mix everything together. Form small balls with the meat, you should get approx 15-20, and place on a plate.

Spray some cooking spray into a non-stick pan and place over a medium/high heat. Add the meatballs, in batches and cook for 4-5 mins until they are browned.

Scoop the cloves out of the tomato sauce, then add the meatballs and cook for a further 20 mins.

Place a saucepan of water with a pinch of salt over a high heat and bring to the boil. Add the pasta and cook as per packet instructions. Drain and set aside.

When the sauce is cooked, stir in the basil.
