A comforting bowl of Italian meatballs in Tomato Sauce anytime
Tender baked meatballs simmered in a homemade umami flavoured tomato sauce really deliver in flavour. The layering of ingredients, the fusion of flavours into the meatballs and the sauce during the cooking process, and the addition of fresh and dried herbs bring together a meal that has you coming back for more.
This is a classic homemade tomato pasta sauce recipe for the home cook which I find is one of the best sauces to have on standby in my kitchen for a quick and simple meal. Everyone needs quick dinners in their recipe repertoire, and with this sauce most of the work is already done.

I am submitting this recipe as part of the Brookford Kitchen Diaries November Cookbook Club where Thanksgiving, or a favourite family recipe with meaning is the theme. It's also originally a favourite American recipe, which ticks another box when choosing a recipe for this linkup. We don't really celebrate Thanksgiving here in Australia, but if we did this is one of the dishes I would definitely bake. It's an all time family favourite, and also generally a safe and very popular baked chicken option to cook for friends and family with various food aversions, needs, and preferences and the cook can stay relaxed. Win, win.

Please share your thoughts in the comments section below, I would love to hear from you. Now please relax, and read on.
When I first started cooking this Barramundi meal, I wasn't sure if it would be suitable for publishing, being a new combination of elements for me, even though I have eaten them all separately before. My goal was to serve perfectly cooked crispy Barramundi fillets with a tasty and low calorie grain dish as a side, and some pan fried halloumi because we love it. This meal exceeded my expectations and the fish was the perfect protein to serve with the Risotto.
