There’s nothing better than everyone tucking into a big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs and this recipe is spectacular.

I do prefer pork meat balls than any other although you can use extra lean mince beef if you want rather than pork which is what I used in this recipe.

You won’t be disappointed with this meatball recipe it is fantastic and even better it is Syn free on extra easy if you use the cheese as your HEA choice.

Read the method carefully because there are some top tips in there for preparing and cooking the perfect meatballs. You will also need the tomato sauce recipe here for the sauce element of the dish.
