Why use both pork and beef — and what’s the splash of milk for?

Pork brings gentle sweetness and fat for moisture, beef adds deep savoury flavour and structure. A small amount of milk hydrates the crumbs so the meatballs steam from within, giving a tender, non-crumbly texture.

Best ways to serve, beyond spaghetti?

Try meatball subs with melted cheese, or serve the meatballs in a bowl with extra sauce and crusty bread for dipping. They’re also great sliced over a pizza base before baking, or tucked into lunchboxes with rice.

Can I use these meatballs in recipes beyond Italian dishes?

Definitely. While they shine with pasta and subs, they’re versatile enough for other cuisines. Try them in a Middle Eastern wrap with hummus and tabbouleh, slice them into a cheesy quesadilla, or add them to a hearty soup or stew. Their tender texture and rich tomato sauce mean they adapt easily, making them a freezer staple you can spin into different meals.

Classic pork and beef meatballs in rich tomato sauce

Ben’s meatballs are all about proper technique and fresh ingredients. A balanced blend of pork and beef is mixed with aromatics, herbs, Parmesan, and just enough breadcrumb for a tender, juicy texture, then gently simmered in a slow-cooked tomato sauce built on a soffritto of onion, carrot, and celery. The result is full-flavoured meatballs with a supple bite, perfect for twirling with spaghetti, loading into a crusty roll, or serving Italian-style with bread for dipping.

This family favourite has been refined over years in Ben’s kitchen. The sauce clings beautifully to pasta, the meatballs stay tender when reheated, and the flavours are friendly for kids while still layered enough for grown-ups. Freshly frozen for peak quality, they heat quickly whenever you need a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

About Your Cook

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.
