Meatballs with winter vegetables



I always enjoy meat balls in any shape or form.  If you have some meat balls and tomato pasta sauce already prepared this is a very quick meal for an evening when you are late home, and a meal that focuses on winter vegetables.  You could serve it with wholegrain rice or pasta, or have it alone
.

20 beef meat balls
1 cup tomato pasta sauce
0.5 turnip
0.5 swede
