Spaghetti With Meatballs
Recipe: #14773
October 19, 2014
"A recipe from a National Supermarket chain as part of feed your family (based on 4 serves) dinner for $10 or less (that is aussie dollars and based on local prices for produce or chain specials at time of publication. Times are estimated. Though recipes recommends 500 grams of spaghetti I would only use about 350 grams for us and serve with a side salad of greens, tomatoes etc. Since posting I have made but for dietary reasons used spring/green onion instead of regular onion and used freshly made pasta otherwise made as per recipe. Have since made this but due to dietary needs had to use spring/green onion for the regular otherwise made as per recipe but feel it needs more flavour as we felt it was rather bland so will be playing with it a little but on this occasion we served it with fresh made linguine instead of dried pasta. Since making this the DH and I thought it a little bland and not as saucy as we would like so have doubled the garlic and added basil and cheese to garnish."
