    OMG. THIS RECIPE IS TO DIE FOR. I am at a young age to start cooking but let me tell you, these are the BEST meatballs I have ever tasted. I really do recommend this recipe. I am going to make meatballs and cheesy garlic bread for my family on Friday. Can't wait. The cheesy garlic bread made by her is absolutely delicious. I really recommend it

    ...WOW Laura!! First of all, thank you so much for sharing your gift! I LOVE Italian cooking, and I was fortunate to have been mentored by an uncle of mine (by marriage, last name"D'agostino") who was a professional chef all his adult life... I can honestly say that he would be VERY proud of you!! He passed on back in 1986, and I am forever grateful to him... ALL of your videos are absolutely THE BEST!!

    Boy am I glad I found this video. I was doing meatballs completely wrong. I know every recipe is different but there are some good points in this video, like braising the meatballs first and not letting the sauce steam and collect water. I can't wait to try this! Looks awesome.

    I made this for my husband tonight and it was a huge hit. I added a touch of garlic powder to the sauce (our personal preference, I like it in there) and served it over garlic bread with Italian Cheese Blend on top. I made a big batch to freeze a couple of portions for lunches for him later. He went on and on about how delicious it was! Thanks for making me look good! -3

    I did those today and they came out so great I can't even describe it´even though I had to cheat a bit because it was a kinda sudden decision to make them when I was on my way home from school so I wasn't sure what exactly I needed and I substituted some stuff. But the technique to make the meatballs was extremely helpful to keep them nice and moist and tender. This will definately be one of my newest go to recipies!
    Thanks so much for everything from Austria! :D

    My family is from Naples. My Mother use to save old bread heals then soak them in water and squeeze all the water out of the bread then add all the ingredients after, she made her meat much bigger and put her meatballs on a paper towel to take the grease out.
