Spaghetti Meatballs - recipe

Here you go Lil :)

I'll add a disclamier now though - this is not entirely my recipe. No, it's good old Maggi's and Sexy Twin's. None the less it is a low-fat, easy one and great for the kids.

• 500g premium lean mince
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• crushed garlic
• 1 tbs mixed Italian herbs

Mix all the above ingredients well. Add additonal breadcumbs if the mixture is too moist. When you are satisfied with the mix's texture roll yourself some little meat balls whilst singing "The Prayer" in Italian at the top of your lungs, aka: Anthony Callea style - http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=6TwBZOttjlM

Heat 1tbs of olive oil in a pan and add your meat balls. Cook until brown (if you can, show your kids or significant other your amazing abilities by flipping the meat balls without the use of cooking utensils - be prepared to clean the floor, toddler, roof and and splash-back afterwards).
Then add 1 jar of tomato based pasta sauce, or tinned tomatoes (or fresh tomatoes and basil if you have them lying around). Add 1 pkt of Maggi Italian meatballs mix and simmer for 10 mins whilst you whack the pasta on and pour yourself another wine.

VOILA!

Serve with another glass of red, and the home grown (Italy that is) sounds of Pavaroti himself crooning through the CD player (the Best of the 90's will suffice).

Enjoy :o)
