2Brown half of the minced onions and garlic in a generous amount of olive oil and let cool slightly.
3In a salad bowl, combine 200gr of ground beef, 100gr of sausage meat, 1/2 beaten egg, 1 handful of breadcrumbs (ideally panko), a staggering amount of Parmesan, 1 handful of chopped parsley, the previously browned onions and garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika.
4Mix well and form small meatballs until all the mixture is used and your patience runs out.
5Ideally, let the meatballs rest for about half an hour in the fridge; if not, roll them very lightly in flour to help them hold their shape during cooking.
6Brown the meatballs in a good drizzle of olive oil and set aside.
7In the same pan, add the remaining onions and garlic with oregano and thyme, and let them brown for a few minutes.
8Add 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, mix well, and cook for 2 minutes.
9Deglaze with a good splash of red wine, let it reduce for a few moments, then add 1 can of crushed tomatoes.
10Let the sauce reduce a bit, then add 10cl of liquid whole cream.
11Let the sauce simmer while you cook the pasta until it thickens.
12Cook the pasta.
13Return the meatballs to the sauce.
14Add the cooked pasta to the sauce with a little cooking water and let it cook for another 2 minutes on the heat.
15Finish with more Parmesan and serve.
