CHEESY MEATBALLS

How to make it

• Start by preheating the oven to 200°C/400°F/ gas 6.
  
• Add the beef, garlic, oregano, salt & pepper, chilli paste, parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, egg and milk to a large bowl and mix well to combine.
  
• Roll the mixture into 15-20 balls.
  
• Next, heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the meatballs for 3-4 minutes. All you’re doing for now is browning the outside, as they will continue to cook in the oven.
  
• Add a few spoonfuls of passata to the bottom of an oven-proof casserole dish. Then, lay the meatballs in the dish.
  
• Pour the rest of the sauce all over, top with mozzarella and sprinkle with a little extra oregano, salt & cracked pepper.
  
• Cover with foil and cook for 30 minutes or until cheese has melted and sauce is bubbling.
  
• Serve hot!
