Nothing like a plate full of scrumptious homemade Italian meatballs (polpette) to make your lunch or dinner special
You can never go wrong with a nice plate of meatballs. In Italy, meatballs are generally served as a secondo piatto, with vegetables on the side and a slice or two of fresh bread to soak up all the sauce.Here is the most traditional and well-known. For this recipe, you can use any type of ground meat that you prefer. Beef would be the traditional choice, but these are also great with ground veal or pork, or any combination of the three.
These can be stored in the refrigerator, covered for up to three days ... that's assuming you have any leftovers!

We are a family of meatball lovers so these would be super popular in our house. And having fresh bread on the side to soak up all the sauce sounds like perfection to me. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
