Tip

Mix the mince and veg in the TM server leaving any remaining veg stuck to the walls in the bowl to add to your sauce.

You can use 2 tins of diced tomatoes instead of Passata if you wish. 

This dish is also great as an appertisers - 2-3 little balls with a dash of sauce.

Excess sauce is great for any other pasta dish.

  • Great meatballs. I also added

    Great meatballs. I also added mushrooms and celery, as they were sitting in the fridge needing to be used. The sauce does need thickening - perhaps less water? I'll experiment.
