The meatballs and marinara are quit good. Would suggest cutting salt by half for both recipes since they are very salty.

Yum! I couldn't find veal so I made with 1/2 pork and 1/2 ground sirloin. Browned in my trusty cast iron skilled and simmered in my own sauce. Pure deliciousness!

Good recipe that I modified to make kosher meatballs! Here are the modifications:
I used 1 1/2 lb ground beef and 3/4 lb. kosher veal sausages (half spicey, half sweet that I ground up together in the Cuisinart. Instead of the bread with milk, I used about 1/3 cup matzah meal moistened with water into a mush. I added that to the meats in the Cuisinart with some oregano. Of course, I left out the Parmesan cheese. I followed the rest of the recipe, except I used an organic marinara sauce (even quicker than the quick sauce in the recipe. Delicious! I'll definitely make them again. They freeze well, too. To make it 5 stars, I'd make it a bit spicier -- either all spicy sausage, or a bit of chili pepper. Enjoy!

I've used this recipe to make a double batch of meatballs twice now and they are absolutely delicious! This is the only recipe I use for meatballs and tastes extremely similar to what my Italian-American family has always made (but never wrote down. The alterations that I make to tailor it to my family's tastes are to use ground lamb instead of the veal and use a pork italian sausage mix for convenience instead of the ground pork + fresh basil and thyme. The sausage mix has these spices plus some fennel seed in it already.

All in all I thought that this recipe was very good. The only thing I would caution people about is the amount of salt. I didn't have time to make my own breadcrumbs (even if I had time I don't think that I would have made my own anywayso I used seasoned breadcrumbs, and with the grated cheese and the salt that the recipe calls for the meatballs were a little salty. If you use seasoned breadcrumbs I would cut the salt from 2 teaspoons to 1 teaspoons. Otherwise it is a great recipe.

I absolutely love this recipe. It is easy and the meatballs have wonderful flavor and they are moist. I cooked them on an oven meatball cooking rack I bought for $10.00 - it doesn't get any easier or tastier than this! P.S. They freeze beautifully.

Best Meatballs my family ever had! Even my grandson who is 2 years old loved Nana's meatballs. Thank you for an awesome and easy recipe.
