Meatballs- 12-/12/09
It seems that every country has some kind of version of a meatball recipe but when I think of meatballs, the first thing that come to my mind is the classic spaghetti and meatballs. Meatballs are also very versatile, you can serve them as an appetizers or a full meal. Meatballs goes very well with a classic Marina sauce, BBQ sauce, or with a mushroom sauce. I like my meatballs to be on the soft side so I am adding a lot of breadcrumbs to the recipe. You can fried them or you can put them in the oven, either way they are so delicious.
Finishing frying my first batch of meatballs! They look so appetizing!
