Cook the onion in 1 tbsp of the oil for 3 minutes. Add the pepper and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add the passata, stock cube, sugar, two-thirds of the basil (reserve the rest) and 200ml water.

Heat the rest of the oil and cook the meatballs in two batches until browned on all sides. Add to the sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
