Ingredients

Lean Beef Mince (10% fat), raw

500 g

Carrots, raw

1 small, grated

Onion(s)

1 small, finely chopped

Garlic

1 clove(s), crushed

Dried Mixed Herbs

2 teaspoons

1 teaspoons, level

Calorie controlled cooking spray

5 spray(s)

White pasta, dry

250 g, spirals

Passata

1 pinch, and black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 6/200°C/400°F. Mix together the minced beef, carrot, onion, garlic, dried herbs and cumin. Season well. Form into about 24 meatballs.
  2. Spray a non-stick baking sheet or roasting pan with low fat cooking spray. Arrange the meatballs on top, then roast them for 20 minutes.
  3. Ten minutes before the meatballs are done, put the pasta on to cook in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or according to pack instructions. Drain the pasta and return to the saucepan with the tomato pasta sauce. Heat for a minute or two, then add the meatballs and stir them through gently.
