Low-Fat meatballs for spaghetti

Most of the time I’m quite happy to just eat spaghetti with grated cheese, ketchup and a bit of butter, but sometimes it’s nice to do make the effort and prepare something a bit different.

I’ve used low fat meat for this recipe, but any kind of mincemeat will work just fine. Normally, it’s just the two of us for meal, so I’m using a smaller amount of meat and other ingredients. If you are cooking for the whole family, just double up the recipe.

I didn’t include recipe for the spaghetti or the spaghetti sauce as I though you probably have your favourite one anyway.

Hope you enjoy making this recipe and do let me know how you got on the comments below.
