Italian Baked Meatballs

by:




All we have eaten for the past couple of months is pasta.....Arabella and Pascal have been in Heaven but I getting seriously bored! This Sunday I decided to cook this Italian Baked Meatball dish - you could have it with pasta or rice but we had ours with garlic bread. I will admit I completely cheated in this recipe - you are meant to make your own meatballs but I bought some. My time is limited with a 2 month old baby so I need to cut corners when I can! This recipe can be prepared beforehand and frozen. It takes a while (1 hour 45 minutes) but it wasn't complicated.
