Cooking Steps

• Grate carrot (see ingredients). Roughly chop baby spinach leaves. Finely chop garlic. • In a medium bowl, combine beef mince, garlic & herb seasoning, fine breadcrumbs, carrot and the egg. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.

Little cooks: Join the fun by helping combine the ingredients and shaping the mixture into meatballs!

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. Cook spaghetti, uncovered, over high heat until ‘al dente’, 10 minutes. • Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain spaghetti and return to saucepan.

Little cooks: Older kids can help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!

• While the pasta is cooking, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. • Cook meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if pan is getting crowded). Transfer to a plate. • Wipe out frying pan, then return to medium-low heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Add tomato sugo, chicken-style stock powder, spinach, cooked meatballs and reserved pasta water. Cook until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, add cooked spaghetti and the butter and toss to combine. Season to taste.
