  • Bake pumpkin pieces until just soft in a 180C oven
  • Combine mince, egg, tomato sauce, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, breadcrumbs and seasoning
  • Mix mince and other ingredients very well with your hands and then roll into small balls

  • Cook rigatoni pasta as directed on pack (usually 12mins)
  • Serve all together with some grated cheese on top if desired

Notes

NB #1 Use a wide pot or sautés pan so the meat balls are not all piled on top of each other.
NB #2 I’ve found the pumpkin fingers are a great way to get the kids to eat some vegetable on a night they probably wouldn’t
