Ingredients

Instructions
- Mix all meatball ingredients in a mixing bowl until well combined. Roll mince mixture into small balls, making sure you poke the cheese well inside the meatball.
- Coat meatballs in cornflour and brown in a little oil in a fry pan, but not necessarily cooked right through.
- Transfer browned meatballs to slow cooker.
- For the sauce, mix all ingredients except the wine in a mixing bowl and pour over meatballs in slow cooker, then splash the wine over the top.
- Enjoy!
- Cook for around 4 hours on low, cook spaghetti separately, plate up and serve meatballs over the top.
