Method

In a heavy bottomed sauté pan, pour in the olive oil. When warm but not smoking, throw in onions, garlic, and simmer until soft. Add chopped peppers, chilli, and again simmer until soft. When ready, add white wine, let it evaporate for a few minutes, or until reduced by a quarter, then add bouquet garni, cover and let cook for about 20 minutes. Add the meatballs, cover, and cook gently for a further 5 to 10 minutes until meatballs are hot in the middle. Check the seasoning and serve with some pasta.
