Very delicious. I skipped making the meatballs and just made a meat sauce.
So much easier than I thought it was going to be. My husband is very happy that we will not have to give up spaghetti.
Apparently you have to use onions twice in the recipe and I’m lost on how much onions and how the cut them for the meatballs…? Kinda frustrating…can’t wait to try it though whenever I can figure out that missing detail!
