A simple tomato sauce with lots of flavour is perfect for spaghetti and meatballs. A weeknight classic that goes down a storm with the family. It's also great for batch cooking.

Storage

Cooked meatballs will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can make the meatball mixture the night before cooking or even freeze them, uncovered, on a baking tray before transferring to a sealed freezer bag for up to 3 months. Cook straight from frozen in a hot oven on an oiled tray. They'll brown nicely, then can be finished cooking in whatever sauce you are using.
