A classic Italian-American favourite, done the proper way
Ben’s Spaghetti & Meatballs is everything you love about this iconic dish: handmade meatballs, a rich slow-cooked tomato sauce, and perfectly cooked spaghetti. His meatballs combine beef and pork – the traditional blend that delivers tenderness, flavour, and a touch of sweetness – seasoned with garlic, herbs, and breadcrumbs. They’re simmered in a sauce built on soffritto (onion, carrot, celery), tomato paste, and puree, slow-cooked with bay leaves and oregano until the flavours deepen and become rich and hearty.
The meatballs and sauce are served over al dente spaghetti, finished with Parmesan and fresh parsley. It’s a complete meal for one – ready in minutes from your freezer – and proof that proper Italian-American cooking doesn’t need shortcuts. Just defrost, heat, stir, and you’ve got a bowl of pasta that tastes homemade, right down to the sauce clinging to every strand.

Hi I'm Ben,
My love for cooking started since I was in high school where I discovered my passion for cooking. As well as growing up in a family that appreciate home-cooked meals, my mom made sure to always have a home cooked meal on the table for our family growing up.I enjoy cooking, creating and serving and most of all I love food. For me being it's not just about being a chef, but it's about enjoying food and enjoying cooking. I love cooking for my family, it gives me a good feeling to be able to nourish my family. We enjoy home-cooked meals so much that we hardly get takeaway meals or going to restaurants.
