Instructions
 

To make the meatballs

  • In your mixing bowl, place all your ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Shape into meatballs.
  • Preheat your oven to 200C / 400F, and in the meantime, on a medium-high heated frying pan or cast iron, add olive oil and fry the meatballs for 5-8 minutes
  • Once browned, add the meatballs to your large baking dish (ensure it is oiled) and place in the oven for 15 minutes.

Pasta

  • Cook the pasta by adding boiled water, a pinch of salt and a dash of oil to your saucepan on low-medium heat. After 15 minutes, drain the pasta once cooked and cover.

To make the sauce

  • On medium-high heat, add olive oil to your saucepan, followed by the onions and garlic which you need to sauté until they’re fragrant and soft, for five minutes.
  • Add the passata or chopped tomatoes, and the remainder ingredients.
  • Cook for 15 minutes

Combine in baking dish

  • Remove the baking tray of cooked meatballs and add the tomato sauce to the tray.
  • Add the cooked pasta in between the meatballs.
  • Add your layer of cheeses.
  • Cook for 15 to 20 minutes on the same heat.
  •  

Notes

  • For your meal prep, refrigerate up to three to four days and reheat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, until piping hot throughout.
  • For a quicker method, you can use store bought meatballs.
  • For better taste, use fresh bread crumbs.
