I made these Herbed cheesy oven baked meatballs and they were delicious! Here is the recipe. 

Meatballs

• 1 kg beef mince 
• 2 tbsp ricotta 
• 1 egg 
• 1⁄4 cup grated parmesan cheese 
• 2 handfuls breadcrumbs 
• Basil 
• Oregano 
• Parsley 
• 1 tsp tomato paste 
• 6 cubes firm mozzarella 1cm x 1cm
• 2 tbsp olive oil 
• 1 onion, finely chopped 
• 1 can crushed tomatoes 
• 1⁄2 cup white wine 
• 2 x 700 ml tomato passata 
• Freshly ground salt and pepper 
• Potatoes 
• Carrots 
• Red Capsicum 
• Peas 

To make the sauce: 

Heat the oil in a saucepan On medium low heat, fry onion. 

Add the white wine and cook off for 5 minutes. Now add the crushed tomatoes and herbs. Season with salt and pepper. 

Bring to the boil and then turn down to a low heat. Add the cubed potatoes, carrots, sliced capsicum and peas. 

Simmer for 30 mins. Preheat the oven to 200 C. 

For the meatballs:
Mix the beef mince with ricotta, egg, parmesan, bread crumbs, parsley, tomato paste. Season with salt and pepper. Combine well with your hands. Form the mixture into large balls. Pierce the meatball with the mozzarella and ensure you seal well with the meat.

Place meatballs on to a tray and bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until cooked. Once cooked, add the meatballs to the sauce, and place back into the oven and cook for another 35 - 40 minutes at 180 C. Serve with a little freshly grated parmesan.
