Cooking Steps
1
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Chop the potatoes into quarters, halving larger quarters.
- Pop the potatoes onto a large (lined) baking tray.
- Toss with salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil.
- Spread out in a single layer (leaving room for the meatballs) then set the tray aside.
2
- Add the mince, breadcrumbs, half a sachet of mustard (per 2P) and Worcester sauce to a large bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper then mix everything together by hand.
- Once combined, form into evenly-sized meatballs, 3-4 per person. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat.
- When the oven is hot, cook the potatoes and meatballs together for 15 mins.
TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

- Meanwhile, place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, 1 tsp sugar (per 2P) and 50ml water (per 2P).
- Simmer until slightly thickened, 5-7 mins.
- Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted and warmed through, 1-2 mins.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir through a knob of butter.
4
- When the potatoes and meatballs have been cooking for 15 mins, remove the meatballs from the oven (leaving the potatoes to cook).
- Add the meatballs to an oven dish.
- Stir in the simmered spinach sauce.
- Drain then roughly tear the mozzarella.
- Scatter the mozzarella evenly over the top.
5
- Place the oven dish below the potatoes in the oven.
