The meatballs in sauce with peas are a timeless classic that never disappoints! Loved by both adults and children, their creaminess is perfect for mopping up the sauce. A time-saving, delicious, and timeless recipe, but today I had a special helper: Bimby® TM6 by Vorwerk, an indispensable kitchen robot. It kneads, weighs, blends, chops, grinds, pulverizes, slices, grates, whips, thickens, and naturally cooks; all in the bowl, basket, and Varoma. This last accessory included with the Bimby® consists of a container, tray, and lid, allowing us to steam cook multiple foods simultaneously to create a complete menu in one cooking session, like today’s recipe! These and many other functions are ones I absolutely recommend you try. Bimby® offers, thanks to the official Cookidoo® platform, infinite recipes to execute in Guided Mode, with pre-set steps, articles, videos, and step-by-step photos for the most challenging recipes. Furthermore, you can always further personalize your kitchen and table with the new and exciting “Adapt” feature that lets you choose the right portions for every need or occasion, every day, with just a click!
