3. Heat half the oil in a frying pan over medium heat, and fry the meatballs in batches until brown on all sides.
4. Wipe the pan with kitchen paper, then pour the second half of the oil into it, and fry half the onion until it almost turns brown. Then add the garlic and cook for a minute. Then pour the sauce, and add the chili flakes and sugar. When this mixture boils, keep it covered and on low heat, for a period ranging between twenty and twenty-five minutes. Then add the meat to the pan, and leave the ingredients for twenty to thirty minutes.
5. Strain the sauce through a strainer with small holes in order to get rid of the excess water.
6. Preheat the oven to 230 degrees Celsius, and heat two trays inside it for fifteen minutes.
