This recipe is probably how we really think of meatballs, Italian style, served with pasta. I’m not sure Mum would have put the olives in as she and Dad didn’t like them, but I think they are the ingredient that makes the Italian difference.
Meatballs must have been one of Mum’s favourite meals as I’ve found lots of recipes for them in her collection. This one must have been a later one as it uses a bottle of pasta sauce and fettucine, ingredients that weren’t around when she was cooking for us as children.
Mum’s homemade pasties were filled with mince steak, potato, onion and sometimes carrot, so these cheese filled pasties were quite different and ‘modern’ for her.
Not the usual cheesecake, this recipe combines cream cheese, feta cheese and parmesan cheese with spinach, mushrooms and onion to make a great savoury dish.
