I can spend more time for cooking these days. But, when my children were young, my husband was always away from home and I was working full time, I was too busy. On top of that, I started to suffer from depression and I struggled to prepare meals for my children. ‘Quick & Easy’ was the key to my survival. This is one of those ‘Quick & Easy’ dishes. Keep a bag of already cooked meatballs in freezer, then this dish can be ready in 10 minutes.
