The ten-year-old walked fans through a step-by-step tutorial for what he called “hidden veg meatballs” on Jamie’s Instagram page.

He started the video by grating one courgette, six mushrooms, one onion and two garlic cloves which he later fried and mixed into the rest of the meatball mixture.

Combining the ‘hidden vegetables’ with beef and pork mince, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and egg with his hands, Buddy said: “Now this is the fun part when you squeeze it and squish it.” Top tip – use water to prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands when rolling out your meatballs.

Sharing a close-up of the meatballs going golden brown in the frying pan, the only sign of the veggies is a tiny hint of green – and when the tomato passata and pasta is added, we bet we’d struggle to spot the difference from a regular spag bol!
