Old Fashioned Sicilian Meatballs and Sauce
My mother's family comes from Militello va di Cantania in Sicily so growing up meant meatballs and sauce most weekends. My grandmother Josephine Concetta taught me how to cook this dish years ago when I was little but refused to put the recipe to paper. Josey believed that great family recipes were best passed down by word of mouth. Which meant, to learn the recipe, you had to take the time to learn it from someone. After filming this video with my mom to recreate my grandmother's meatball and sauce, I tend to agree.
Meatballs and Sauce is a great dish to prepare in large batches. It freezes and thaws quite well and will lasts up to about 6 months in the freezer. I suggest serving meatballs and sauce over spaghetti with a little grated Parmesan and it also makes excellent meatball subs. Just make sure to sprinkle the meatballs and bread with a little mozzarella cheese.
