The linguine:

Heat plenty of salted water in a pot. When it boils, add linguine and let it boil for 9 minutes or until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Mis en place:

Chop or grate garlic.
Grate or finely chop the onion into brunoise.
Separate parsley leaves from the stems. Chop the stems.

The meatballs I:

In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs with a few tablespoons of water until it becomes a thick paste. Add half of the grated Parmesan, half of the garlic, half of the spice mix, and minced meat. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well and shape into meatballs. Estimate that for every 100g of minced meat, you’ll get 3-4 meatballs. 

The meatballs II:

Heat a dash of oil in a pan and cook the meatballs on all sides for 4 minutes.
Set aside on a plate.

The tabbouleh:

Heat up another dash of oil in the frying pan. Add onion, parsley stems, and remaining garlic. Sauté for 1-2 min. Add tomatoes, the rest of the spice mix and crumbled stock. Stir and add the meatballs. If you have a lid, cover the frying pan. Let it simmer for 8 minutes over low heat. If you don’t have a lid, be sure to check that the sauce doesn’t dry out. If that happens, add a little water. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Your meal:

Add the linguine to the frying pan with tomato sauce and meatballs if there is space. Mix everything. (If it doesn’t all fit in the pan, you can first place the pasta on the plates and then add sauce and meatballs.)
Divide among the plates and finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan and parsley leaves.
