How We Make It
How We Make It
To make our meatballs, we use a classic Italian blend of pork and veal mix, perked up with flavourings like lemon zest, parsley, thyme and garlic and onion. A bit of ricotta in the mixture keeps them soft and we use egg but no breadcrumbs to bind.
After hand-rolling them, we roast them in the oven to keep things lean, then simmer them in a sweet, slow-cooked tomato sauce.

Serve with pasta, polenta or gnocchi, some basil or parsley and lashings of grated Parmesan.
LOW CARB OPTION: Serve over a big pile of salad or spiralized zucchini. We like to toss our zucchini noodles in a frying pan with olive oil and salt - lots of recipes call for blanching them but we find that it makes them sad and soggy.
