Meatballs made with ground veal and pork are served with rigatoni. The ridged tubes of pasta are even better than spaghetti for catching this spicy homemade tomato sauce.

    Oh my gosh, these are THE BEST meatballs ever! I do use the meatloaf mix instead of just beef and pork (veal added), and I ALWAYS make at least a triple if not quadruple batch. If there are any leftovers they freeze beautifully. The lemon zest gives such a fresh taste to the meatballs. I serve it with Martha's Red-Hot Tomato Sauce as I got the original recipes when they were printed as cards next to each other in Martha's magazine several years ago. This my GO TO recipe! Always a hit!

    I like to prapare these meatballs ahead of time and freeze. They are delicious and I like the lemon flavor especially if I cook a garlic linguine. Mxing these meatballs with various other Italian sauces works very well.
