Ingredients
- 1 x Pot of JD Seasonings Spaghetti Meatballs
- 1/2 x Pot of JD Seasonings Amatriciana Kit
- 500g Lean beef mince (less than 5% fat)
- 1 x Onion, diced
- 4 x Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 x Tin of chopped tomatoes
- 80g Reduced fat mozzarella, cut into small chunks
- 30g Reduced fat cheddar, cut into small chunks
- Beaten egg
- Parmesan (to serve)
- Low calorie cooking spray
Method
STEP 1:
Combine the mince, half the diced onion, full pot of JD Seasonings Spaghetti Meatballs and beaten egg and divide into eight equal portions.
STEP 2:
Form each portion of mince into a rough ball shape. Make an indent in the centre and pop a chunk of each mozzarella and cheddar in the middle, then pinch the edges together and roll back into a ball, making sure no cheese is visible from the outside.
STEP 3:
Spray a tray lined with baking paper with low calorie cooking spray. Put your meatballs onto the tray and bake at 180° for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the mince has cooked.
STEP 4:
While your meatballs are baking, fry off your minced garlic and the remaining onion in low calorie cooking spray, until softened.
STEP 5:
Add in your chopped tomatoes and half a pot of JD Seasonings Amatriciana kit and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until thickened.
STEP 6:
Pour your sauce into a bowl and top with your cooked meatballs and a little grated parmesan, if desired.
ENJOY!!
