Heat the remaining oil used in frying the meat balls, if it's not enough add some more but not much, just a little. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Fry till the onions are almost transluscent.
Add some water to the tomato puree/paste and stir. Pour the tomato puree inside the pot and stir. Add chopped mint and scent leaves, seasonings and spices. Stir. When boiled, add the meat balls, stir gently. Taste for salt and stock cube. If there is any need to add more, add but not much. Add the spaghetti and stir gently. You can use two cooking spoons to stir. Allow to cook for some minutes on low heat.
