  • Now in a bowl add the Pork, garlic, egg, crumbs, herbs and spices and the crumbled feta. Mix well with your hands till combined. Approx 5 minutes.
  • Take equal sized pieces of meat and roll into balls. The mixture should make 28-30 balls. Put each ball into a (serving) baking dish that will take them all in a single layer.
  • Pour over 2 jars of pasta sauce and cover the top with cheese.
  • Bake in a hot oven for 10 minutes ( test one ball if you like to make sure it is hot right through)

Notes

Make sure you use a thick pasta sauce and NOT passata (tomato puree), this is too runny. Apart from that go for it!
PS. Don't add salt the feta provides enough.
