Mad Balls

There are some dishes that you just think I wish there was a good veggie version... I'm not sure I ever ate meat balls when I ate meat even, but years of watching sopranos meant I needed to have a go at creating a good veggie alternative.

So here is me "Demonstrating my style" of making no meat mad balls 

The best I have found is using a packet veggie sausage mix rolled into balls baked in the oven in a little oil. (I use asda own veggie Lincolnshire sausage mix)

Then pour over a ragu, I use chopped tomatoes, chopped garlic, a drizzle of balsamic, a drop more good olive oil, plenty of salt & black pepper and a pinch of brown sugar.

Give it a good stir to coat your balls and return to the oven for 20 mins. Carefully remove cover with a good healthy grating of cheddar and pop back in until bubbling and melted. 

Serve with freshly cooked spaghetti and garlic bread.
