Italian Meatballs
From Statesboro Market2Go
<p>Who doesn’t love meatballs? Especially with our delicious local beef. They are so versatile. Serve them as an appetizer or with pasta as a main course.. I recommend a hearty, thick spaghetti like Buccanti #6. It is a hollow spaghetti noodle, which allows the juices in the sauce to be held tightly in the thin hollow tube. Really worth it. But don’t forget to make my Extra Veggie Marinara recipe to go along with these delicious round delights. Make extra because you know you love a good oven toasted meatball sub for a quick leftover lunch or diner.</p>Source: My taste buds decided to create this one... (Entered by Amy Womble)
