MEATBALLS are an ancient recipe dating back to Mesopotamia and gradually spread to Greece, China, Persia, and India.

The first Italian recipes of MEATBALLS seem to date back to the Romans, to the cook Marco Gavio Apicius, a Roman cook, who between 35 B.C. and 25 B.C. prepared them with meat and fish.

MEATBALLS are generally cooked in a pan with sauce but are also delicious when baked and fried.
