Eggplant Meatballs, Polpette di Melanzane, Love them!! Perfect for a vegetarian!I did a few things different though I mashed the cooked eggplant and make sure to squeeze out as much water as you can!I didnt have the cheese to stuff inside so I skipped that and mixed in some mozzarella I also used crushed up crackers because I didnt have any bread which worked perfect and cooked really well , Polpette di Melanzane
