    Someone cooking in the sauce!!! This should be first on the algorithm. It's like 10th. EVERY single one prior pre cooks the meatballs... my italian nonnine would only cook in the sauce and makes the softest most delicious meatballs ever! My fathers also a master chef but we all defer to hers lol. He does the same way in the resturant but adds a few other meats to the sauce. He loves recreating old italian peasant dishes. Great job!! ❤🎉

    I left my pack of ground beef in the kitchen while I was looking for some cool meatballs recipes. I was waiting for so long to be able to cook some delicious meatballs since i really like them. I found this video and fell in love with the recipe, so I rapidly annotated all the steps on a notebook. I went to the kitchen, notebook in hand and when I arrived got sad. My mom cooked all the ground beef with onions.

    Couldn’t wait any longer, made this today. Changed some ingredients etc but that’s not the point. You used a panade, I have never before, I did this time. Excellent results. Slow cooked in the sauce until meatballs were 145° in the center. I don’t think anyone wants pink in their meatballs. Hamburger, different story. The meatballs are tender and juicy and the sauce is fantastic, clearly having benefitted from the meat. Very, very well done Nic. I’m wondering if that’s short for Nicole. Happy New Year to you!
