Notes

I always use the Feta Australian and the deli Woolworths (I find it a more delicate flavor), and liquid Campbells stock for the sauce, bouillon cubes do not think would give the depth of flavor. With very low heat can cook the meatballs in the sauce for about 60 minutes. Serve with a salad and garlic bread.
