The most commonly recognised recipe is probably that of spaghetti and meatballs. But it’s quite a versatile little morsel, the meatball and can be enjoyed in a wide variety of ways. A protein parcel that packs a punch, it’s fun to eat and fun to cook; kids will love lending a helping hand in the kitchen while balling up these little bundles of joy. So, here’s our, uh, round-up…

Oven-Baked Lamb Meatballs in Cheesy Tomato Sauce with Crusty Ciabatta Bread

The trick to super tender meatballs? Baking them, of course! It allows for plenty of moisture and flavour to stay in your meatballs, where they belong. Cheddar cheese and a crusty ciabatta loaf add an indulgent touch to this Greek-inspired dish.

Spaghetti & Lamb Meatballs with Oregano Tomato Sauce

We’ve put a twist on regular spaghetti and meatballs by using flavoursome lamb mince and adding nutritious spinach to the sauce. Don’t forget to try our clever trick of stirring some of the pasta sauce through the spaghetti before serving – it gets every bite infused with flavour and stops the spaghetti from sticking.
