Beef and pork meatballs sit in a tomato sauce and get baked under a layer of mozzarella. Charlie Bigham's usually builds its frozen meals in oven-ready trays, and this one follows that pattern, with the sauce doing the job of keeping the meatballs moist as they heat through. The flavour base is familiar Italian-style territory, with tomatoes, herbs and cheese doing most of the work. Compared with some of the brand's pasta-based dishes, this one skips the carb element and stays focused on the sauce and meat. It comes ready to heat in the oven, so you just need to cook it through until the cheese is melted and the centre is piping hot.
