    1 Place mince, breadcrumbs, egg, paprika, fennel and garlic in a large bowl, mixing well to combine. Using clean hands, roll mixture into 12 even-shaped meatballs and spray with oil. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and cook, turning, for 3 minutes or until browned. Add passata and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through.

    2 Meanwhile, cook potato in a large saucepan of boiling water for 10 minutes or until just tender. Add cauliflower rice and cook for a further 2 minutes. Drain, then return to pan. Add table spread and mash well.

    3 Divide mash among bowls. Top with meatballs and sauce. Serve with beans and parsley.

    HFG tip

    Don’t like cauliflower? Combine white potatoes with boiled parsnips or sweet potatoes instead to make the mash.
