Cooking Steps

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
• In a medium bowl, combine lamb mince, Italian herbs, vegetable stock,
fine breadcrumbs and the egg. Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of
the mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a baking dish.
Drizzle with olive oil, gently turning to coat.
• Bake meatballs until lightly browned, 10-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato.

Little cooks: Join the fun by helping combine the ingredients and shaping the
mixture into meatballs! Make sure to wash your hands well afterwards.

• Remove baking dish from oven, then add tomato, passata, garlic & herb
seasoning, the salt, water, butter and brown sugar. Turn meatballs to
coat. Cover baking dish tightly with foil.
• Reduce oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Return meatballs to the oven and
bake until tomatoes are softened, a further 50-55 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Uncover, then gently stir meatballs and sauce. Return
to the oven. Bake, uncovered, until sauce is slightly thickened, a further
10-15 minutes.

• While the meatballs are baking uncovered, bring a large saucepan of salted
water to the boil. Cook fettuccine in the boiling water until ‘al dente’,
11 minutes.
• When pasta is ready, reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people /
1/2 cup for 4 people), then drain pasta and return to saucepan.

TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

• When the meatballs are ready, transfer to a plate. Gently stir baby spinach
leaves and fettuccine through the sauce in the baking dish. Season to taste.
• Divide fettuccine and sauce between bowls.
• Top with slow-cooked lamb meatballs.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!

Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the Parmesan cheese!
