Tip

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.

You will have left over sauce with this recipe which can be used for another pasta recipe.

If you are in a rush, just use pork and veal mince.

    Quick, easy, delicious, and hardly any washing up! I used beef mince, and a jar of dolmio, 1 tin diced tomatoes, and 100g water, and a little sugar for the sauce as I didn't have passata. Great family meal.
