Tip all the meatball ingredients into a mixing bowl. Using your hands mix and squeeze together. Once all combined, roll into 10 meatballs about the size of golf balls. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan then add the meatballs.
Gently fry the meatballs (turning regularly) until golden and almost cooked through (about 10 minutes).
Add a drop more oil to the pan followed by the onions. Once the onions are softened, add the vine tomato. After a minute add the chopped tomatoes, purée, dried herbs, sugar and seasoning.
Simmer on a low heat for about 20 minutes until the sauce slightly reduces and becomes thicker.
Preheat the oven to 200c and divide the mixture between two gratin dishes. Top with the cheese and then bake for approximately 7 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve with the gluten free bread and salad.
