Random recipe review
Basil is just the best!
4.7/5
The meatballs are great, but the finishing touch is the fresh basil.
A quick and easy meatball recipe. Serve with buttered pasta and a tomato sauce. It's ideal for freezing, make double the quantity and freeze in small batches for extra quick meals.
This has to be a cheat because it's so simple to make.
