Homemade Garlic and Herb Meatballs

There’s something about homemade versus store bought meatballs that just hits differently!

Ingredients (serves two):

• 250g lean beef mince

• 2 slices of wholegrain bread (blended to crumbs)

• Handful diced fresh parsley

• 1 tsp minced garlic

• Salt and pepper

• 250g tomato passata

• Extra virgin olive oil

• 1 clove of garlic (if desired)

• Spaghetti (can use Vetta for higher nutrient profile)

Method:

1. To a bowl add your mince, crumbs, garlic, olive oil, parsley, salt and pepper to taste.

2. Roll into even balls and place in a casserole dish with an extra drizzle of olive oil.

3. Cook for 20 minutes or until brown, at 180 degrees fan forced.

4. Dice a clove of garlic (if desired).

5. Once meatballs are out of the oven, pan fry them over low-medium heat until cooked through and golden. Then add your passata and garlic and let simmer.

6. Prep your parsley, while cooking your spag of choice until al dente. Plate up and enjoy <333
