Spagetti and Meat Lumps (by G)

Today I got the great idea to have spagetti and meat balls for dinner - mainly because I had most of a tin of tomatos left over from Tortilla Tuesday and mince in the freezer.

The tomato sauce was good - a mix of red onion, tomato, spices blitzed together and cooked off. Sadly the meatballs did not keep their shape when I fried them off - they really had too many corners to be called balls, they did taste nice though - spiced with paprika, cumin, oregano... some other things I can't remember... then simmered in the sauce and topped with cheese.  The only negative is that the beef mince was very lean and dried out a bit - such is the price of the current fear of fat (for some of the population at least - the remainder appear to eat junk food exclusively and likely do not influence supermaket buthering policy).
