Pasta with meat balls and CLICK


pasta with meat balls

One more day to go for the last day of sending in your pictures for the event which is hosted by the duo from Jugalbandi.

Normally I make atleast once a week a pasta or noodle dish. But after Jai and Bee had announced their theme for the Novemeber event, I have not made any new pasta dish and I didn't want to post the pasta recipes from earlier, so today I decided I better make something new and send it to the event

Ofcourse mostly kids love this dish. Adults too.

I am also sending this to Ruth from Once Upon A Feast for her Presto Pasta Nights


Minced meat, bread, parsley etc...



Frying them...

Finla said...

Asha Here Shyama too love them. So where are you off to for the 5 dyas.

Kribha i don't think i know a substitute for the meat balls :-)

Pati here my daughter too love them, but i tend to make them just once a month as mostly i try to make pasta dishes with less meat.

Rina here i give the meatballs with french fries or Mash potatoe, then i add button mushrooms to it.

Manasi yeah it was a filling meal.
I know what u mean with all these events i can't keep up. I still have to send to spice event, AFAM and the Weekend breakfast and not to forget spoonfull of christmas, but don't think i will do all of them as time is too short.

Meeso thankyou

Rajitha yeah you are correct. I was making it and my daughter was waiting for her dinner and told her wait a second i will just take a picture. And she was like i am hungry.....

Bee it was my pleasure

Nags i too love pasta, i try to make pasta dishes with less meat, but then sometimes i do have to give into my hubbies and daughter's plea for the meat dishes :-)

Lissie i think you can use the tomato puree, but i think in India we get it in goodrej brand ....
