They’re quirky, fun and completely delicious!

INGREDIENTS

500g ground beef

400g sausage

½ cup breadcrumbs

1 egg, beaten

1 tbsp chopped parsley

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp tomato paste

½ tsp salt

½ tsp pepper

200g mozzarella, cut into cubes

350g spaghetti, cooked

2 tsp Italian herbs

2 eggs

1/2 cup grated parmesan

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

oil, for frying

Grated Parmesan to serve

Finely chopped parsley to serve

METHOD

Add beef, sausage, breadcrumbs, eggs, parsley, tomato paste, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix well until combined.
Using an ice cream spoon, take the meat mixture, then place the mozzarella cube in the center of meat and wrap the meat around to seal.
Fry all meatballs in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, add eggs, Italian herbs, parmesan, salt and pepper to taste. Add cooked spaghetti and mix thoroughly to evenly cover.
Place a small amount of spaghetti on a piece of plastic wrap and place the meatballs in the center. Gather the edges and wrap spaghetti and meatballs. Place in a muffin pan to keep its shape. Repeat until you have 12 packets of spaghetti. Put in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
Heat the oil to 175°C/340°F, unfold the pockets and fry until golden brown.
Serve with tomato sauce, plenty of grated parmesan and fresh parsley.
