Directions

Mix all the ingredients together for the turkey meat balls. To mix them finely do all ingredients in thermomix and then hand mix them thru the mince. Roll into balls and put on a plate. Fry the meat balls in a frypan with olive oil to brown for 5 minutes then put in oven 200 degree Celcius for 20 minutes.  In a small saucepan place the garlic and basil and olive oil and pepper and salt. Lightly cook then put the tomato pasta in this saucepan. Simmer this sauce for 45minutes or longer on a low heat. Before serving cook the pasta in boiling water and strain and serve the meatballs and sauce on the top. 

Option is to serve with some grated goats cheese on top. 

Option two is to do a sauce with pumpkin soup and goats cheese.  This is yummy.
