In my family meatballs are a must, so I absolutely have to make them properly!
We like tender ones, that melt in your mouth and with a creamy, velvety sauce, ideal to dip bread in it!
This time I wanted to flavor them with some “luganega” (that is a kind of sausage) and peppers: the result is phenomenal trust me, absolutely to try!
