    Spaghetti and Meatballs Recipe - ThermoFun

    Jump to recipe

    If you know me - as most of you that have been with me since the inception of ThermoFun (THANK YOU!) I love my passata - and really any chance I get to create a new recipe using it, it goes to the top of the pile!  So when someone asked me for a good thermomix spaghetti & meatball recipe I knew straight away that it would involve my Passata!  :)

    Our trip to Italy last year with friends (feels like it's been 5 years!) saw us indulge in some great meatballs and some great homemade pasta!  So I used my memory to recreate the meatball flavours and I will toot my horn a little and say that the meatball flavours were pretty spot on!  Now I am sure that some authentic Italians may jump on me and claim that it's not, but I think it comes really close.  One of my taste testers has Italian heritage and she thought that they were great - she did say that she used a mix of beef and pork to get a nice meatball flavour too.
