My daughter is a fussy eater and won't eat spaghetti bolognese like all other kids do. Normally, plain pasta with olive oil and a few steamed vegetables is all she will eat. This recipe though seems to work for her so I'm posting it for other mums with fussy eater.
The meatballs contain hidden vegetables...
Meatballs
500g Veal and Pork mince
1/2 tspn crushed garlic
3 drops of tabasco
1 tlbspn Soy sauce
salt & pepper to taste
1 grated carrot
1 grated zucchini with skin
1 medium onion,diced finely
1 egg
1/4 cup breadcrumbs ( add more if mixture too moist)
Mix all ingredients together and roll into golf sized balls. Leave to rest in fridge for about 30 minutes.
Pasta Sauce with Vegetables
1 x Jar pasta Sauce
1 grated carrot
2 sticks of celery
1 medium onion,diced finely
1/2 tspn crushed garlic
2 tlbspns olive oil
On low heat saute onions, vegetables and garlic until softened. Add Pasta Sauce and 1/2 jar of water.
Cook slowly while shallow frying the meatballs. Add as many meatballs to the sauce you wish and leave the rest to put on top of the final dish.
Meanwhile boil water for penne and cook according to instruction on packet.
Mix sauce over cooked pasta and place remaining meatballs to serve.
Let me know what you think!!!
