  2. Place the cherry tomatoes in the oven at 180℃ and roast until cooked through, set aside.
  3. Heat a large deep sided frypan over medium heat, add the olive oil and cook the meatballs until golden brown and cooked through, remove from pan and keep warm. Add the onion and garlic, cook until soft and fragrant. Add the white wine, tomatoes and tomato paste. Return the meatballs back to the sauce, add the thyme and allow the sauce to simmer for five minutes.
