Method

  1. In a bowl mix together the mince, herbs and garlic, then shape into 12 balls. Heat the oil in a pan and cook the meatballs for 10 minutes over a medium heat, turning, until golden.
  2. Pour in the pasta sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes. If the sauce is a little thick, add a few tablespoons of boiling water. Meanwhile, cook the carrots in a pan of boiling water for 8 minutes, adding the peas for the final 2 minutes, then drain and stir into the meatballs.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a pan of boiling water, following pack instructions, then drain.
  4. Serve the spaghetti in bowls, topped with the meatballs and tomato sauce, and sprinkled with Cheddar.
Make it veggie

Try swapping the mince for roasted courgettes.
