The quick and simple route to a basic but satisfying meatball. If you've never made meatballs before, this is a great place to start. You might want to kick it up a little on the next round, and I've got a recipe to help with that attached at the bottom, but yeah, this is a good place to start.

Carbone's Meatballs

Luckypeach is gone 😥. There was a popular recipe for meatballs on their site. This is my version. I reduced the batch size to make it easier for a home cook. I skipped the veal because it's expensive and really kinda a messed up product. The original sauce called for a basil infusion, I just pureed basil into the sauce and it worked well. This recipe is great, but it's a pretty standard meatball recipe. The special part, far as I'm concerned, is the basil tomato sauce. The combo is wonderful.
