This is a really good cheat which works brilliantly and is perfect for a quick meal during lockdown. Normally I make my meatballs from scratch, but I wanted to create something super simple so I thought I’d experiment with shop bought. All cooked in one pan and budget friendly, it’s absolutely one to try.
