Method

  1. Make the meatballs by adding the meatball ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mixing with your hands. Take out a small ball-sized amount and roll into a ball. Set aside. Do this until all the mixture has gone; you should get around 15 small meatballs.
  2. Add the orzo to a large pan of boiling, salted water and cook for 15 minutes.
  3. Heat up some oil in a pan and add the meatballs. Fry for 10 minutes, turning constantly to ensure all sides are golden and the meatballs are cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add in a little more olive oil, then add the onion and garlic. Fry for a couple of minutes. Add the tomato purée, stock, and chopped tomatoes, and bring to a simmer. Add the meatballs back in with the basil, and top with the two cheeses. Cover and let everything simmer for 20 minutes.
  5. Drain the orzo and divide it into bowls. Add the meatballs on top and serve with more fresh basil.
