I’ve never made meatballs before. Ever. This is my first time. It’s a recipe from Taunton’s Fine Cooking magazine, the May 2005 #71 issue. They’re humongous. They’re 2.5 inches in diameter. Alan saw them and said “WHAT?! Those aren’t meatballs. They’re gigantic. Those are hamburger patties!”

Alan really enjoyed it. He said the marinara sauce was better then the sauce I get in a jar from the grocery store. Yeah. Better be good. Took me a damn long time to make.
