We love this tasty vegetable and meatball tagliatelle recipe. The additon of the roasted vegetables really gives this classic recipe a twist! Bold, chunky and full of flavour it’s the ideal recipe for your family or for serving friends. Plus by using tagliatelle instead of spaghetti this meal becomes really filling! Everyone will love it!
