After a day at school followed by swimming lessons my two little ones tumble into the house wanting to be fed IMMEDIATELY.
So when i saw the challenge set by BritMums to try out the Richmond Mini Meatballs in a quick and tasty meal i knew my kids would be big fans.
I am pleased to say this meal only took 10 mins but if you wanted to microwave the meatballs instead of cooking them like i did it would only take the 5 minutes it takes to boil the quick cook pasta.
Best of all is that all the ingredients are cupboard staples so you can rustle this meal up without a trip to the supermarket.
I started out by cooking some pasta - swirls, tubes, shells anything that keeps it interesting. Then i defrosted some cubes of frozen spinach which you can buy in any supermarket and it works out much much cheaper than the fresh alternative.
Then once the meatballs are cooked mix the spinach and some grated cheese in with the pasta and top with the meatballs.
My kids gave the Meatball Popeye top marks and they didn't even leave me any on their plates.
