My parents were over and my dad suggested I roll the meatballs in cornflake crumbs before cooking them...I did and they had a sensational crunch which worked really well with this recipe. Yum Yum!

I just tried this meatball recipe and they are good!!!!!

However, i did not have pork mince, so i put lamb mince instead and the mince was marinated the night before.

Haven't made the sauce yet but the meatballs are so good on their own.

i also added some grated carrot in it, jsut to have a bit of vege in them.

Yummy!

Sometimes meatballs can be dry if you use a mince that has too little fat, like a super premium one? You really need a little bit of fat in the mince. I always get a nice piece of chuck steak from the butcher and do it in the food processor, with some of the fat left on.

they look great, cant wait to try them.

I made these tonight - SO good! Went to DJ's for the meat and it turned out fantastic. Instead of having the meatballs on pasta we made it in a sub roll with melted bocconcini. Love your site - always tasty treats. Thanks!

Passata is made from sieved, crushed/pureed tomatoes. It is usually sold in glass bottles. You could substitute canned tomato puree or finely crushed canned tomatoes.

Looking forward to trying this recipe but before I do - what is tomato passata? I have never heard of it.

Made this dish last night, it was gorgeous! My boyfriend commented before tasting it that the pasta and meatballs that he orders from restaurants is usually quite dry. Then he tasted it and loved it! Thanks for the lovely recipes!

Just made this tonight but used Chicken mince instead of veal and pork. It was absolutely delicious and worked fine with the chicken. I added some fresh torn basil to the dish a few minutes prior to serving as well.

Hi Chefboy

Unfortunately, we can't advise you as we haven't tried the meatballs from Subway.

2008-10-28T14:17:00.000+11:00

The only type of parmesan cheese that we wouldn't recommend is the type that can be kept at room temperature before opening.

The meatballs and sauce are suitable to freeze.

2008-10-28T12:11:00.000+11:00

Made this last night as an alternative to spaghetti, keeping in mind i am NOT a meatball fan as those i have tasted are bland and dry. These were just as the recipe said, moist, flavourful and a definite keeper, the sauce was a little tomatoey but overall a fabulous recipe. Also plan on making again to freeze, will just double the meatball recipe and make oodles of the scrumptious little things.

Hi ladies,
I am wondering if the meatballs can be frozen. I have tried many of your recipes with tomato base but have never frozen anything.
This looks to be another great recipe.
Thanks.

Just wondering if you would recommend using fresh or packet parmesan cheese in your recipes?
