Recipe found on The Endless Meal
My Rating: 4 out of 5
My Review
Surprisingly, the cauli mash turned out really well. It was thick and fluffy when I was expecting it to be more runny and bumpy textured. The mushrooms were a hit and the chicken wasnt bad, either just not very memorable.

My Review
Meatballs kind of weird me out sometimes but, these werent too smushy at all. They stuck together nicely and had that traditional Italian seasoning flavor. The sauce is what needed a little work; there wasnt enough of it and the only thing I could taste was tomato. The diced up veggies were awesome, though.
Ingredients Youll Need
- 260g (9.2oz) of uncooked spaghetti
For the sauce
- 480ml (2 cups) of crushed tomatoes (or passata)
- 360ml (1.5 cups) of beef stock
- 2 tablespoon of tomato paste
- splash of balsamic vinegar
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 large carrot, finely chopped
- 1 zucchini (courgette), finely chopped
- 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons of mixed herbs
- 1 tbs of sukrin (we used regular sugar)
- salt and black pepper
- spray oil
For the meatballs
- 400g (14oz) of extra lean ground beef
- 1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce
- fresh chopped parsley
- 1/2 tsp of onion powder
- 1/2 tsp of garlic powder
- 1 egg beaten, to bind
- salt and black pepper
