Meatballs and Tomato Sauce

Any type of ground meat will work with this recipe, but a blend of pork and beef will yield the best results. Serve the meatballs over your favorite pasta and freeze any leftovers in the sauce; they can be reheated for meatball sandwiches. From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

    Lucinda, rather than frying the meatballs, I place them on a wire rack in a rimmed cookie sheet and bake them at 350

      Two slices of bread? Thick slices? Bakery white bread? Real Italian bread? Why be specific about the other ingredients but not the bread?

    Made these meatballs for dinner tonight- Delicious! I used ground turkey and halfed the recipe since I was only cooking for two. My husband and I thought they were great! Thanks Lucinda! Oh- and my husband would like to say 'thank you' also. I'm a beginner cook, married almost 4 years, and am now trying to expand my knowledge in the kitchen. My husband asked me tonight what it is about you that has got me wanting to learn more...I told him you're a great teacher with amazingly yummy recipes! :)

    I did fry the meatballs, but they completely lost their shape, so we had spaghetti and meatblobs for dinner which my nephew thought was great.

    This recipe is great for how simple it is. I was making a much more complicated sauce. No more! This is really delicious. Note: I've used veal instead of pork a couple of times and all beaf once. They turned out just fine. Woderful. Cannot say enough!! My kids have a new fav.
