Not a fan of this recipe sorry I have cooked it twice and both times I have thought the same thing tasteless and the sauce is plain not to mention very runny.
Bloody beautiful !
Such a simple and easy meal to make in a hurry. Our family really enjoyed this meal. Followed instructions & steamed the meatballs. Meatballs held together beautifully and melted in your mouth. Delish ! Will def be making again.
Thank you

These are so tasty and very simple to make..definitely a regular for our household.
Thanks drscott. It does seem like a lot of breadcrumbs, but it works well. The original recipe said to use 2 cups, which converted into 200g fresh bread.
Very good and easy recipe that my 4 year old loved.
200g of bread crumbs seemed like a huge amount to me. I ended up using 1/2 cup of crumbs-out-of-a-box which worked out to be about 60g and it seemed to work pretty well.
