ROSEMARY MEATBALLS



Rosemary Meatballs image

We did side-by-side tastings with meatballs: one included panko and the other, regular breadcrumbs. The ones with panko were much lighter -- and tastier!

PORK MEATBALLS WITH ROSEMARY



Pork Meatballs With Rosemary image

Volumes have been written about ''new'' combinations of sauces and flavors for the delight of those who dine on pasta. We find this laudatory and have ourselves introduced ''new'' flavors for pasta. There are times, however, when we still have a slight craving for one or another of the basics, such as spaghetti with meatballs. These meatballs are easy to prepare and go well with the tomato sauce, the preparation of which we have also detailed. A bit of gustatory nostalgia never hurt anyone at the table.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 pound ground lean pork

1/2 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1/4 pound mushrooms, finely chopped, about one cup
1 teaspoon finely chopped dried rosemary
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste

1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon dried, hot red-pepper flakes
1/2 cup flour
5 cups tomato sauce, approximately (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Put the pork in a mixing bowl.
