Being so quick and simple to cook, full and flavour and a healthy balanced meal makes this ideal to add to your regular recipes.
Smoked streaky bacon is our favourite for this recipe, the juices helping bond the meatballs together. But unsmoked, flavoured, or back bacon will each give a different touch.
If you don't have or fancy making your own marinara sauce (it's quick and easy) you can replace with pizza topping, or just pureed tomato sauce, adding salt, pepper and if you have it oregano and minced garlic.
