Meatballs
Italian-style meatballs simmered in marinara sauce are the epitome of comfort food—simple yet full of rich, layered flavors. Tender meatballs, made from a mix of beef and pork, are gently seasoned with garlic, parsley, and Parmesan, then simmered in a slow-cooked marinara sauce made from ripe tomatoes, garlic, and fresh herbs. As the meatballs cook, they absorb the tangy sweetness of the sauce, creating a dish that’s both hearty and flavorful. The result is a satisfying, melt-in-your-mouth experience, whether served over pasta, with crusty bread, or simply on their own. It's a dish that celebrates the timeless Italian tradition of turning humble ingredients into something truly special.
