Meatballs in Cheese and Pea Sauce

I have still a lot of great Italian cheese blocks in the fridge. Some of them in a sauce sounded great. I went grocery shopping and let myself get inspired. I bought some mince meat (pork and beef) and a package of fresh peas in their shell. I still had no idea what to cook but went online and found an idea.

Cooked meatballs in a cheese sauce.

recipe:
350 g mixed pork and beef mince
100 g fine chopped Parma ham
300 g fresh peas
3 spring onions
1 red onion
5 cloves of garlic
1 red chili
2 tbsp paprika paste
1 egg
1/2 roll soaked in milk
2 tbsp bread crumbs
salt, pepper
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp butter
100 ml milk
300 ml stock
nutmeg, salt, pepper
parsley

First I shelled the fresh peas and put on a bigger pot to make a "one pot" meal. Not all things cooked at once, but one after on other in the same pot. That does not really save dishes, but some room on the hob.
I blanched the peas in some salted boiling water for 4 min and got them out with a slotted spoon. I dumped some veg stock into the pea water and kept the pot on warm for later.

The meatballs were made 6 cm size and simmered in the pot for 20 min. Always keep an eye on the pot, so it wont start to boil. Get the meatballs out with the slotted spoon into a bowl and set them aside.
Use a fine sieve and pour the cooking broth into a bowl and save for later.

Make a roux in the same pot you just drained the broth from, first add a bit of milk and then a couple of ladles of the fresh broth. Put in the cheese and let it melt, taste and season.
Add the peas and the meatballs and let them heat through again.

Serve on rice.
