This hubby of mine is actually a better cook than me. The care he takes to put into his food – each ingredient, each spice, the type of meat, and more – always leaves me excited to take the first bite. I KNOW its going to be good. Well “good” is an understatement.
These meatballs are don’t even need pasta or garlic bread. And my 3 year old son left the ravioli on the plate as he devoured his serving as well. That’s proof!
Definitely a “hands on” treat! Enjoy!
