Spaghetti and Meatballs: Final Dish

Ingredients

Why I chose it

What part does it play

250g of spaghetti pasta

Spaghetti is one of my
all-time favourite pastas
and you cant go wrong
with it

It is one of the main

ingredients in this dish it
makes up the whole
thing without pasta it
would just be meatballs

Salt to taste

Salt gives food flavour

lessens the blandness
that might indulge in the
meal

If added the right amount

to the sauce and pasta it
can make your taste
buds wild. It makes the
dish taste so much more
amazing

cup of grated cheese

Cheese is a major part in

an Italian diet and is a
must on pasta.

It gives the pasta a nice

cheesy taste and it also
makes a good addition to
the presentation

a bottle of Italian tomato

I chose this sauce

because it is authentic
Italian sauce made from
fresh tomatoes and it
tastes incredible

The sauce gives the

pasta colour and taste,
without sauce the pasta
would be very bland and
uninteresting.

olive oil

The olive oil in the sauce

makes it taste very good
and add flavour.

It gives the sauce taste

and makes it more
authentic to the Italian
culture which is the way
my family and I like it.

150g of lean beef mince

Lean beef mince is

always the best way to
go when making meat
balls with the correct
ingredients like basil, egg
and cheese it will taste
amazing

The mince is rolled into

meatballs, if done
correctly the meat should
taste well cooked and
beautiful

Basil leaves to serve and

Basil leaves gives taste

to the sauce so when
you cook the sauce add
a few basil leaves. Also
to add a bit of the colour
green to you final
product.

Basil leaves taste

amazing in the sauce
and it is another
ingredient that
contributes to the taste
Basil is also something
you can add to have

sauce
