We ate this with rigatoni pasta, and snow peas and broccoli. Little Jasmine loved it eating about 2-3 meat balls by herself!, it is a great finger food for little ones. 

Italian food is her favorite anything with pasta is a hit. She wasn't too keen on the Indian yesterday hopefully she will be a good girl and eat well when her Grandma from India comes next month!

Enjoy
