A friend of Domča, who loves experimenting with , taught me this variation and says that the secret is not to be afraid of spices. She once told me, “If you’re afraid of chili, you’re not getting the best out of the recipe.” And she was right. Her second tip is: “Cream and parmesan soften everything, so don’t be afraid of them either.” This results in meatballs that have juice, character and a distinct aroma.
Once you try these meatballs, you’ll never want another. Watch the video recipe and learn how to proceed step by step:

3. Put the tomato puree in the same pan, fry it briefly, add a teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of chili and the rest of the cream. Mix everything carefully until smooth.
4. Return the meatballs back to the pan, add the garlic and basil and let it bubble gently for about ten minutes.
