Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce. Peel, then cut potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered until fork-tender, 10-12 min.
While potatoes boil, thinly slice mushrooms. Strip 1 tbsp rosemary leaves (dbl for 4ppl) from stems, then finely chop. Peel, then cut half the onion into 1/3-inch pieces (whole onion for 4 ppl). Peel, then halve carrot lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch pieces.
Add beef, breadcrumbs, half the rosemary and 2 tbsp milk (dbl for 4 ppl) to a large bowl. Season with pepper, then combine. Roll mixture into 8 equal-sized meatballs (16 for 4 ppl). (TIP: If you prefer a firmer meatball, add an egg to the mixture!) Transfer meatballs to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in middle of the oven until cooked through, 12-14 min.**
While meatballs bake, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then mushrooms, carrots, onions and remaining rosemary. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5-6 min. Season with salt and pepper. Add baby spinach. Stir until wilted, 1 min.
Add flour and tomato sauce base to the pan with veggies. Cook, stirring often, until coated, 1-2 min. Add white wine, 1 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl), cream and broth concentrate. Cook, stirring often, until gravy thickens, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper.
When potatoes arefork- tender, drain and return to the same pot off heat. Mash 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 ppl) into potatoes until creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Divide mash between plates. Top with meatballs, then spoon gravy over meatballs.
