I really was looking forward to this post!!! Yes these were terrific meatballs. They came together in a snap and they were so moist and tasty. I have made hundreds and hundreds of meatballs of various sizes and recipes and I have learned that they can be cooked in the oven with great success. So when Ina called for 1/4 inch of oil in a pan and to fry them; I totally ignored that part. I also just used ground beef from the ranch in California that has the sustainable thing going on, I didn't want to use veal or pork like Ina recommended.The Ragu' was so easy and tasty. I made this recipe after church on Sunday, it took me about an hour. My family loved it.
You can link to the recipe here Ina's Real Spaghetti and Meatballs or click on Ina's picture to order the book.
I added my own mix of Herbs 'd Provance, and I made my own Boule' bread for the bread crumbs.

These were the best meatballs! They were sooooo good! :)
ReplyDeleteThey look great! I baked mine as well.. no sense in adding all the fat to fry them, right?

Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. Your spaghetti and Meatballs look very yummy. I'd love some of that nice warm bread too!

I wish I had the foresight to bake the meatballs rather than fry them!
ReplyDeleteCynthia!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! I totally agree with the frying thing... it may taste better but I'd prefer to not clog my ateries if I can help it.

What a great idea to bake these! I'm so impressed you baked a boule to use. Bread is the one thing that intimidates me in the kitchen.
ReplyDeletegreat colors in your picture. I'd like to try baking them next time
ReplyDeleteWish I could have been there to try it. ¿Was it better than the Tyler Florence recipe you made a while back?
ReplyDeleteMalaina, duh? what Tyler Florence recipe? It sounds vaguely familiar?
ReplyDeleteI though this recipe was really tasty, too. I also added a little Italian seasoning to mine.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had baked them too. It would have been much easier than the frying - so messy! And greasy.
