Bec Tips

The sauce really doesn't need anything else the juices from the meatballs really do flavour the whole dish.
This is a great meal that can be pre made using fresh mince make the meatballs and store in the freezer. You could also make them in the morning and store in the fridge to let the herbs improve the flavour.
Serve with long spaghetti and a generous grating of parmasen.
Don't want to make your own breadcrumbs (I don't blame you) just use the packet stuff I don't measure but maybe a bit over half a cup.
