Directions
Polpette Alla Casalinga, This recipe for meatballs is the best that I have discovered. It came from the cookbook, “The Cooking of Italy”. It actually is a Time-Life book, that has amazing information on the history of Italian cooking along with the regional applications. My ex mother in-law, who was born and raised in Italy says it’s pretty accurate. She was and still is an amazing cook and baker at the age of 88. I still call her for help on recipes. Whoever tries this recipe, I hope you enjoy these meatballs as much as my family does., I originally got this recipe from the actual cookbook 31 years ago. I’ve been making it ever since. My extra large family and I love it! I triple the recipe., I actually use a tablespoon of Nature’s Seasoning per batch for extra spice.
