Italian Meatballs

Mario Batali's Lemon Scented Meatballs

These are amazing. They freeze really well, and reheat nicely in our toaster oven under foil.

We usually eat them with fresh crusty bread, a sage and white bean spread, and a lightly-cooked green veggie of some sort (e.g. asparagus, broccoli rabe, etc.).

The only substitution I make is ground pork for the veal. Also for ease and to make it slightly healthier, I bake them, and they're almost as good as fried (which I did the first time). I usually bake them on a sheet pan at 400 degrees, for about 20 minutes or until they're nice browned on the outside and cooked through in the center.
