    Very easy. I could have done with a touch more flavour but the meatballs were really nice (used pork and beef as veal unavailable).

    This was really good! I doubled it and added zucchini and carrots (finely chopped in thermie) to the sauce.

    Best meatballs...Used lean beef mince, added grated carrot in meat mixture.
    Used vegie stock and nutmeg to spice meat.
    For the sauce mix, I omitted sugar, used a dash of wine, vegie stock mix, pepper and mixed herbs . Added mushrooms.
    I cooked them on the stove, browning meatballs first. Winner,winner !!!

    So very delicious ! this is half recipe with triple parsley, 300g pork mince only. Extra salt in the sauce and no sugar. Perfect for 2 . So, I added quarter teaspoon salt to the sauce and quarter cup pasta cooking water so the sauce wouldn't catch on the base. I highly recommend this recipe for a few reasons. It's versatile with which meat you use. I used oats successfully as I had no plain crumbs. It's ready in under 45 minutes and you could eat it with or without pasta. Thank you for a quick tasty Varoma dish

    Amazing! I changed the sauce slightly by using 1 tin chopped tomatoes and 1 tin of tomato soup.
