Thank you for posting this recipe! I had it as a clipping from one of my TOH magazines and lost it. We've made these meatballs since we discovered a large horseradish patch growing in the garden of the house we bought recently. I was so disappointed that we wouldn't be able to make them this year but I found your posting! The whole family love the extra bite that the horseradish adds to the meatballs and to the sauce and we would have been lost without it! Thanks so much for posting!!
