Instructions
- For the meatballs mix together the beef and pork along with the other ingredients.
- Using an ice cream scoop or a scale measure out the meatballs and shape them.
- Fry them in a pan in a tablespoon of olive oil and set aside.
- Add the butter to the same pan. DO NOT clean out the pan, you want all that flavour from cooking the meatballs
- Fry the mushrooms and season with salt, pepper, chilly flakes and oregano
- Add in the tomatoes and water and cover and cook for 5-7 minutes to reduce the tartness of the tomatoes
- Meanwhile cut the calamari into long noodles
- Once the tomato sauce has reduced, taste for seasoning and add salt if required
- Add the squid and cook for 2 minutes so as to not overcook it.
- Turn the heat off and finish with fresh basil
- Serve the squid in tomato sauce with the meatballs
