Bea’s Recipes presents you a complete main course: Meatballs with peas, the most classic of autumn dishes. For many, it’s a dish that even reminds them of childhood, when to get children to eat vegetables or legumes, they were added to their favorite dishes, often to meatballs. I have often presented you with the recipe for meatballs, and every time this dish manages to capture our taste; it never gets boring!
I won’t deny that I associate this dish closely with my grandmother Licia’s cooking; she made meatballs three times a week, knowing the five of us grandchildren absolutely loved them. And these Meatballs with peas were the ultimate delight for us.
