Airfryed meatballs and bacon with tomatoes and spaghetti
A great airfrier recipe as you can use almost anything in this and it all cooks at the same time - it's economical too!
This was a use-up meal to clear out odds and ends from the freezer; it's so general that you could easily do this sausages, burgers, almost any processed meats. You could even use baked beans as the tomato sauce.

Ingredients
Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩🍳 method for this recipe
- 2 x 40 oz (110g) Free Range Grass Fed Aberdeen Angus meat balls (Bramblebee Farms)
- 1 tablespoon Taste Sensation Chili Cheese marinade (optional)
- 2 thick slices of treacly fatty back bacon slices, chopped small (Russell's of Upwell)
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- A handful of breadcrumbs - I used Panko; I like them crunchy
- 1 large cup of Sun-dried tomatoes mixed with Tomato sauce for pizza
- 110g dried spaghetti
Method
- The 4oz meatballs are huge, so I cut each of them into 4. This makes them 'normal' meatball size!
- Chop the fatty back bacon thinly
- Sprinkle the chopped onion into the silicon oven tray - no oil is needed as they'll be plenty from the bacon and meatballs
- If you like you meatballs with a bite, roll them in 1 tablespoon of Taste Sensation Chili Cheese marinade or a spicy mix of your choosing
- Sprinkle over a handful of breadcrumbs - Panko is my favourite, but any will do. They soak up and excess oils and crisp up nicely
- Pop the silicone baking tray ion your airfryer and cook at 200° C for 15 minutes - shaking the mixture up every 5 minutes if you get the chance.
- Meanwhile boil the spaghetti in lightly salted water for 10 minutes and microwave your tomato sauce and the peas and sweetcorn
- Drain the spaghetti tip out the meatball mixture and pour over the tomato sauce
-

Serving suggestions

Variations
