While sauce is cooking place either a good knob butter or splash olive oil into pan add meatballs & cook on a low heat.

You have to be gentle with the meatballs that you don't break them when cooking. Small amounts of cheese may ooze out of the meatballs but don't worry about that.

Once sauce & meatballs are cooked place together in a bowl & spoon into your favourite bread roll.

The sauce is very thick & designed to coat the meatballs nicely. If you want more sauce increase the tomatoes to two (2) tins following the same method.

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
TM 5

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
