Is it just our family or does every child just love spag bol??  Honestly, whenever I ask my kids what they want for dinner it is “spaghetti bolognese”…

So tonight I used similar ingredients except I turned them into meatballs and served with gluten-free pasta.  Worked a treat.

  2. In a large bowl add all meatball ingredients, including the onion. Mix together well and roll into walnut size balls.
  3. Add more olive oil into the frying pan and start cooking the meatballs on each side for 5 minutes.
