1.Heat olive oil on low then add chopped garlic and onion and sauté until golden brown.

2.Then add tomato, parmesan, parsley, basil, and season with salt and pepper. Turn the heat up to medium and let the sauce come to a simmer. Then turn it back on low and let it marinate while you make your pasta and meatballs.

3. In your food processor bowl, add your flour, semolina, eggs, olive oil, and salt. Start your mixer and let it go for 10mins until dough forms. Cover dough in plastic wrap and let hang out for 30mins.

4. Cut dough into 4 equal pieces. Work with one piece at a time and flatten your dough through pasta machine roller, starting with the widest setting. Lightly flour the pasta sheet as you fold and flatten it through the machine, reducing settings notch by notch until you reach the narrowest setting. Do this with each of your dough pieces.

5. Cut pasta sheet into thin strands and add flour so they don’t stick. Cook pasta in boiling salted water for about 3-4mins.

6. Sauté your garlic and onions for the meatballs, cook until golden brown.

7.Then in a bowl, add meat, salt, pepper, egg, parm, parsley, basil, breadcrumbs, and your sauté garlic and onion. Mix with hands or if you have one, food processor then form golf size balls.
