Tomato basil pasta sauce with meat balls

It is time for really quick tomato sauce.
Ingredients:
Tomatoes 3p
Tomato juice100ml
Garlic
Red chili pepper
Jalapeno or green pepper
Basil
Beef mince 200 g
Mustard
Egg
Breadcrumbs
Oregano
Olive oil
Your favorite pasta
Preparing:
First the meatballs. Mix your beef, salt, pepper, tablespoon of mustard, breadcrumbs, oregano and egg all together in a bawl. Make small balls all the same size so it cook evenly. I prefer 1 inch balls. put some olive oil in the pan and place the balls in. Stir them from time to time to cook evenly from each side.
Meanwhile chop tomatoes with knife or use blander and mix it with tomato juice. Chop garlic and peppers. When the meatballs are done place them into a plate.
It is time for quick sauce. Use the same pan you used for meatballs. Pour some olive oil in add garlic and peppers. Stir quickly for few seconds, add chopped basil, stir and pour tomatoes in. Season with some salt and pepper. It will start boiling in few seconds, so add balls back in. Your sauce is done quickly as that :)
Serving:
Serve sauce on top of your favorite pasta. Sprinkle some parmesan cheese and basil on top.
