Vegiful Spaghetti and Meatballs
April 15, 2019
Full of extra hidden veg to hide from your fussy kids! It’s a delicious full flavoured sauce that slightly thickens as it cooks due to the rice in the meatballs. A family favourite and so quick and easy to make.

Notes
1Full of extra hidden veg to hide from your fussy kids! It’s a delicious full flavoured sauce that slightly thickens as it cooks due to the rice in the meatballs. A family favourite and so quick and easy to make.
2Remember to really work that meatball mix. If you think it’s well mixed, mix a bit more! It ensures your meatballs don’t fall apart during cooking. And resist stirring till the last half hour of cooking.

This was so easy to make and very tasty. I decided to serve with extra vegetables instead of spaghetti but otherwise I followed the recipe as above. Enjoyed by everyone who ate it. Will become a regular dish in my household 🙂
