This recipe comes from The Steaming Issue of The 4 Blades Magazine. This was probably my most favourite issue  to create aside from our current Breakfast Issue. I loved creating new and exciting dishes for the steaming attachment/varoma. This is on piece of a Thermomix I find people don’t use enough for various reasons.

These meatballs are packed full of flavour and smell delicious. You can easily have them on their own as a starter or serve on zoodles for a healthy and fresh option. Prefer pasta? Don’t worry! My family hear you big time. Of course you can serve these on pasta as well. Try my Homemade Pasta Dough recipe! So easy and sooooo delicious!
