Simple Spaghetti Meatballs

This is a recipe I came up with whilst studying at university, adapted from a few recipes online and swapping out the posh ingredients for simple ones. And it's nice a cheap! If you have some spare budget for the week buy some asparagus and add about 5 chopped sticks at the start.
