Tip

Depending on how much sauce you like the sauce recipe may make too much for you.We solve this by using half one night then freezing the rest then the next time making the meatballs and cooking with 1.5 litres of water in the bowl, on varoma reverse for 40 mins.

    Made this last night, and enjoyed it very much. I had my own pasta sauce (left over from another recipe so i used that) but the meatballs were very nice and stuck together well, i would add for next time though some salt & pepper tmrc_emoticons.)
