Meatball Arrabiata
Sardinian-style beef meatballs slow-simmered in a rich tomato and aubergine sauce with red wine, garlic and a gentle warmth from Aleppo chilli. Served over toasted fregola pasta with fresh basil and oregano, this one's a proper Italian comfort dish.

Tell me when Meatball Arrabiata changes
Recipes get reformulated and portions shrink without an announcement. We read this page every week anyway.
Every figure above is read from what the service publishes, and services change their pages without telling us. If something here does not match this meal as it is sold today, we would rather hear it than print it.
