This recipe is another first for me. My friend Andrea also sent me this one to try.
Disclaimer on broiling:
This recipe involves broiling and I don’t know if it’s just me or what, but I always seem to have an issue with broiling things! It’s either not cooked or burnt. There’s no in between.
So what I did to check if the meatballs were ready was to cut one of them and see how it looks in the middle. Do any of you guys have this issue too, or is it really just me? I need to know! Other than that, it’s pretty simple and fast to make! Anyway, I’m so happy with how it turned out. You guys will love this one.
