2 cups beef stock

To make sauce: Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan and heat over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes or until onion is soft. Add tomato paste. Cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and stock to pan. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 15 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly. Add meathalls to pan. Spoon over sauce to coat. Cover, Cook for 15 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through.
Meanwhile cook spaghetti in a large saucepan of boiling salted water, following packet directions, until tender. Drain.
