Tip
I have also done this recipe replacing the prosciutto with bacon and it works equally well. Also you can just use two tins of tomatoes instead of the passata, I added a tablespoon of tomato paste.
I just love doing meatballs in the Varoma as they stay so lovely and moist and you don’t have to stand there turning them in a fry pan, and they definitely won’t burn.

Delicious sauce and yummy flavours in the meatballs, didn't mince the meat enough so was a little chewy. Might use actual mince next time instead
Nice recipe, thanks for sharing.
No more shop bought meatballs for me, these are delicious and the kids love them!
Very nice meatballs & sauce. I used bacon instead off prosciutto which worked fine. I used half a lemon rind, which was enough. Kids polished it all, which is great
thank you
Fantastic! I somehow managed to cook this in a motel room in remote country Victoria. So wonderful to sit and relax in the room while a delish meal cooked away.
The meatballs were perfectly cooked with loads of flavour and held together well once cooked. Tasty sauce too. I used salami instead of prosciutto, dried oregano and Coles 'Pure' GF bread rolls as they were items I had with me.
This dish is going on the favs list for when we get home.
Nom nom nom! This was a hit! I wouldn't change a thing!
Absolutely devine !! Forgot I didnt have eggs, so just added extra olive oil came out a treat.

Yum yum! This was a hit with my family. I used 500g of lean mince instead of the steak. Thanks for sharing
