One of my family's fave dinners and easy as, is my super easy meatballs!
1kg mince (I use beef), add shredded zucchini if you have the energy (got to get hidden veges into them somehow), 2 eggs, about a cup of breadcrumbs (or almond meal if you're avoiding the carbs), half a cup of tomato paste, and squirt of Tabasco or Worcestershire or a bit of chili if you want to give it a kick - can adjust the dry/wet ingredients a bit....
Stick a pot on the stove and bring to the boil 2 x bottles of your favourite tomato passata or puree ( I use the 700g ones) + an equal amount of water. (ie empty the bottle of passata into the pot then fill the same bottle with water and add the water in).
When the passata is boiling, roll the mince mixture into small balls with wet hands, and throw them in.
Boil over medium heat until the sauce reduces and thickens - takes about 40 mins - leave the cover off and it will reduce quicker just make sure the mince is cooked through.
So yummy with pasta or mash or veges or cauliflower mash!
Make enough to freeze ;)
