Friday Night Comfort Food......Cheesy Meatballs served with Garlic Ciabatta Bread

Wondering what to cook after work tomorrow? Look no further......

A quick tasty meal for all the family. Eryn's favourite meal is spaghetti Bolognese but I wanted to do a twist on this dish. Eryn was out at tennis and Chris had gone to watch her so I had 45 mins to create a meal for my hungry two to come home to. I popped on the Christmas songs (bit of Micheal Buble) and set to work.........

Enjoy
