    Fry the balls in a good knob of butter until golden brown & set aside.

    Finely chop the onion and crush the garlic. Sauté in a good splash of olive oil. Add the tomato concentrate & sauté for a while. Deglaze with the tomato paste and reduce for 15 minutes. Season with salt & pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Take a baking dish. Put a little bit of tomato sauce on the bottom. Now make successive layers of: lasagna skin, tomato sauce, some meatballs, mortadella, mozzarella & Parmesan cheese. Repeat until your ingredients are (almost) used up.

  5. 5

    Place 1 more lasagna sheet on top & top with final tomato sauce. Top with meatballs, mozzarella & Parmesan cheese.

  6. 6

    Bake in the oven for as long as the packaging of the lasagna sheets states. Cover with aluminum foil if the cheese is in danger of burning.
