My mother and I have just managed to recover a couple of them.<br \/>\nThe ones we loved the most and that we also remembered&#8230; by memory.<\/p>\n<p>Among the quick recipes of meatballs to make, nonna often made the ones with sausage and mortadella or just sausage. I remember that she made them very small, then fry them and finally, before they arrived on the table, they would be passed in sauce just for a quarter.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>My own version<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>This is a meatball made with fresh Italian sausage mixed with coarsely chopped vegetables, a little grated parmigiano and a little breadcrumbs.<\/p>\n<p>They cook quickly in the oven and are the right recipe for serving a tasty dish when you are short of time. You can serve them as a main dish with a side or as an aperitif.<br \/>\nI also like them in a salad.<\/p>\n<p>I have used fava beans, peas and carrots as vegetables. Use whatever you have on hand, just remember to chop them finely with a knife.<\/p>\n<p>Cook with love and life will smile on you,<\/p>\n<p>Monica<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Keep in Touch<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\">To receive unpublished recipes, tips, and food stories, sign up for the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tortelliniandco.substack.com\/\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Tortellini&amp;CO newsletter<\/b><\/span><\/a>.
