This was a very easy preparation, and the meatballs were delicious. I thought the sauce was a little bland.. I'll spice it up a little next time, and there will be a next time.

I live with my husband and teenage daughter on Long Island. I have alwasy loved to cook, since I was a child. I learned to cook on my own, just knowing what tastes good and learning about foods, and diffrent ways to prepare it. I love old world Italian cooking, that I LOVE preparing for my Irish Husband.
