I keep kosher so none of the items you mention above are usable. Though I'm sure there are plenty of good Italian meatballs out there.
Hi Woodman, I appreciate your comments and tips here, really do. The comment you aimed at Charlie that I just received? Maybe it was a bad hair day - I hope so, ...
It's also a sure fire way to make sure the meatballs are cooked all the way through, especially if you fry them.i've found the meatballs (and other meats) pick up even more flavor from the sauce, as well as impart theirs to the sauce after letting it cool down and refrigerate for a day, then reheating it. one of those "better the second day" type of meals.
...it sounds too much like basta, which you never want to say while the macaroni is being served.
Ok Woodman, I waited and tried your meatballs today
... They came out very good indeed - well received by family. My daughter's "friend" is a third generation Italian-Irish-American and well accustomed to the tastes. He said they were just right!
So, it's a keeper! Will make again - I have the taste notes from this try and can hone in more next time! Thanks for the recipe and tips. D
