VERDICT

This recipe was super quick and super easy. I found the sauce was very yummy but I think that there will be some variation depending on the type of pasta sauce you use within the recipe. The meatballs seemed to be missing a bit of flavour, even with the addition of some salt and pepper but experimenting with this might help. A recipe that has potential especially because of how easy and quick it is to prepare.
