Serves 2-4 servings.
Ingredients
1kg Mince (Pork or Beef)
2 eggs
1 onion
A packet of Spaghetti (optional)
Pasta Sauce with vegetables
Sweet Chilli Sauce (or gravy)
Up to 90g Flour
Up to 90g Butter or alternative

Method:
Dice an onion.
Heat a saucepan of water on medium heat (bring to boil)
Heat Frypan on a medium heat.
Mix the mince and eggs, together with chopped onion. Continue adding butter and flour and continue mixing.
Continue to mix until firm and then roll into balls of a similar size to a golf ball.
Once your water has come to the boil place your pasta in and set the timer for 8 minutes, depending on how firm you like your pasta.
Place your meatballs into a frypan, with a touch of oil and continue to turn until they darken.
Add your sweet chilli sauce (1 teaspoon per 4 meatballs for a mild 'kick') or gravy and also half a jar of Pasta Sauce if desired.
Continue to simmer for a further 2 minutes.
Cut into the centre of one meatball open to check that they're cooked throughout.
Turn the pan off.
Pasta: once cooked, drain the pasta through a sieve and then place back into the saucepan. Next, quickly add in the remaining half jar of pasta sauce and stir vigorously through the pasta, in the saucepan.
To serve: Place the pasta in a bowl or on a plate and add the meatballs onto the pasta, pouring any additional sauce over the meal.
[Serve alongside steamed vegetables if desired, to help get your 5+ each day].Place any extra food into plastic containers and either refrigerate or freeze once at room temperature, for eating another day.
Enjoy!
