Ingredients: fresh Italian parsley, pecorino romano cheese...

"This recipe is the only one my family has ever used, and it will soon be the only one your family uses. It is not ready in a short period of time, so it takes patience. The wait is worth it."

Ingredients: fresh ground pepper, ground veal...

"These are real meatballs. If you were only using ground beef in your meatballs before, then you were doing them wrong! Pork and veal is where the real flavor comes from. I also use a tiny bit of mild Italian sausage just like the old country. To make them nice and moist, have them cook in a big pot of homemade red gravy for 1 to 2 hours. Make..."

"A local Italian restaurant makes an awesome veal meatball dinner served with a pesto sauce to allow the delicate flavors of the veal to shine through. This is my version."

"These are simply beautiful meatballs with many uses. I make huge batches and freeze them; pulling them out during the month to put them to use. I have lightened up the original recipe, using the same ingredients, just a lighter variety.

"This one is ALL Arlines, my wifey. Tried and true, this one always satisfies. She's been making this long before I came around (McCalls 1973) and WE been around the block a few times. Hope you enjoy this as much as our family and friends have over the years."

Ingredients: pepper, dried basil...

"This recipe was my Grandmother's - a sweet little lady from Bari Italy. The only thing I changed was the type of bread. Since the crust was removed from the Italian loaf, I use white bread."

"Honest…the supreme meatball! Even my Italian friends secretly beg me for the recipe as they don’t want to offend their Nona’s. The addition of the lemon zest creates this phenomenally rich flavour and you will find that you can’t eat as many with your pasta as you usually would. Since these little wonders are bursting with flavour I add them to a simple..."

"I got this recipe years ago from an Italian cookbook. These are best served with very little tomato sauce so the delicate flavor is not drowned out by a sauce.
Prep time includes "resting" time."

"I saw this on "How To Boil Water" on Food Network and it looked delicious. Tried last night and they were a huge hit! The pork, beef, veal combo is the secret and the parmesan cheese is delicious. Very yummy recipe and worth the time to make them."

"These meatballs are very different because of the texture created after mixing in the food processor. I usually use a homemade tomato sauce but a good store bought sauce will work fine as well (Tomato & Basil). Top meatballs with sauce and mozzarella cheese and let your taste buds delight. Even Nona says she loves them."
