  1. This recipe is easy peasy and so delicious!<br/>Except for one teany weaney change in the cooking I followed the recipe exactly............. I baked the balls in the oven, instead of pan frying and the oven method worked so well. Only one or two balls stuck and burnt just a little, but otherwise was brilliant.<br/>I will add that rolling the balls with wet hands does help.<br/>I doubled the ingredients and followed the instructions and this made for one absolutley one amazing dinner.<br/>May I say the 1 of the few balls that burnt..... turned out so well for the middle of the plate Pat..........you will see in the photo.<br/>I will be making this again................ and again.<br/>Fantastic recipe Pat
     
  2. Delicious meatballs in an even more delicious sauce. I made a half recipe of the balls but a full recipe of the sauce. We love sauce and suggest if you do too, to make at least double (for 4 people) I would then add in some lightly steamed broccoli, asparagus or snow peas to make a more complete meal. I'll be making this again thanks Pat.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
