Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

I used Five Brothers Summer Vegetables sauce for this recipe. The meatballs will be a bit sticky when rolling them but they will firm up in the fridge. I also put the water into the pasta jar and give it a good shake to get all the sauce out. Any type of mince can be used for this recipe but lamb is the best tasting.
