  • We make our meatballs from scratch, by hand, to our own tried and tested recipe. We’ve come up with a rather ingenious way to shape them, too: an ice-cream scoop.
  • They’re made from a tasty mix of beef and pork mince.
  • Red wine, red pesto and balsamic vinegar in the tomato sauce bring real depth and sweetness.

Try it with:

  • Linguine and some toasted pine nuts on top make a nice alternative to the classic accompaniments of spaghetti and a sprinkling of Parmesan
  • You could enrage Italians the world over and serve with rice
  • Courgette ribbons for a healthier take on pasta
