My children go crazy for meatballs, whether they're lemon-leaf meatballs, beer meatballs, or chicken-and-lemon meatballs\u2014they're always thrilled. But if there's one recipe that truly drives them wild, it's grandma's incredibly tender meatballs in tomato sauce. In fact, the meatballs my mother-in-law makes are really good: a very traditional recipe, prepared carefully, rich, full of flavor, fried in olive oil like in the old days and then cooked in concentrated tomato paste and passata. She also has a secret ingredient that's hard to replicate: years and years of experience making meatballs... Maybe one day, if God wills it, I'll reach her level and my grandchildren will also say grandma's meatballs are the best in the world. For now, I must settle for my children's critiques: they say, 'Yes, your meatballs are good, but they're not like grandma's!' By the way, did you know you can also use the meatball sauce to dress pasta and it's absolutely delicious?"}
