Method
Step 1 of 6
Use clean hands to combine the mince, onion, carrot, zucchini, mixed herbs, chilli flakes and three-quarters of the garlic in a bowl. Roll the mixture into balls about the size of a golf ball.
Step 2 of 6
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the meatballs in batches just until browned on the outside. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3 of 6
Combine the tomato, tomato paste, 185ml (3/4 cup) water and the remaining garlic in the frying pan. Simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes.
Step 4 of 6
Return the meatballs to the pan. Bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Step 5 of 6
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water until tender. Drain.
Step 6 of 6
Divide the pasta, meatballs and sauce among serving dishes and sprinkle with the parmesan.
