As the stars say: very good!! I doubled your recipe. I also added 1 beaten egg, because I am BAD at meatballs and was worried they might break up without the binding effect of an egg!! I added a little more seasoning (no extra salt) to the meat mixture, and made my meatballs quite large because that is how my husband prefers them! The sauce was very nice, not rich at all, just sort of meaty!! I found your recipe among the "almost forgotten" ones and cannot understand why it flew under the radar for so long. Thanks for a very nice comfort food.
