More, please! These meatballs were absolutely perfect. They had a great texture that wasn’t too dense. The tomato sauce was sublime and I just wanted more, lol! This dish definitely belongs on the 7×7 list (unlike some other dishes).

I don’t see Italian on your plates very often so this must have been good! Nothing better than fresh bread, olive oil and balsamic!!
You’re right! I don’t go to enough Italian restaurants. It’s the carb thing in my head. 🙂
