To serve:
- Heat the oil a large pan over a medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning with tongs to brown on all sides (do this in batches if needed). Transfer the browned meatballs to a plate lined with kitchen paper.
- Drain all but one tablespoon of fat from the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion. Cook for 5-6 minutes until browned. Add the garlic and dried herbs and cook for one minute.
- Increase the heat and stir in the tomato purée to coat. Add the wine and simmer until it has nearly evaporated, stirring the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits.
- Stir in the chopped tomatoes and return the meatballs to the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to simmer over a medium-low heat for 20-30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to the boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions.
- Stir the basil into the sauce. Drain the spaghetti, add it to the pan and toss until coated. Serve hot with grated Parmesan and garlic bread.
