<h3 class="has-custom-font wp-block-heading" style="font-family:Karla;font-size:18px">What truly makes a good meatball? I think inquiring cooks would like to know&#8230;</h3>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Karla;font-size:18px">My mouth is watering right now thinking of my mom&#8217;s famous spaghetti and meatballs. It&#8217;s one of those meals you always come home to eat. It&#8217;s the one that feels so comforting to eat. It&#8217;s a meal you never get sick of. Mom&#8217;s famous spaghetti and meatballs are one of my favorite recipes.</p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Karla;font-size:18px">I don’t recall ever looking up a meatball recipe, except for when I was making some Swedish meatballs for the first time. But with a classic spaghetti and meatballs, I’ve always used my mom’s recipe. </p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Karla;font-size:18px">My dad still says to this day that my mom’s recipe is the best. He actually texted me the other day asking for it. Ironically I was planning to make some this week. So here I am, the day before thanksgiving, making spaghetti and meatballs. Good thing I’m not doing much cooking tomorrow&#8230;</p>

<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Karla;font-size:18px">So rewind back to when I moved out. Long, long ago&#8230;I wanted to try and make my own spaghetti and meatballs. Maybe, I missed home a little? So, I emailed my mom, asking for her famous recipe. And she of course, email me back. And she signed it sweetly, “Good luck”, love mom. And it’s the emailed recipe I still use today! I’ve written on it. Heck, I even still have it saved in my email account. I’ve tweaked the recipe a bit over the years, but it’s still the classic one, that I remember from long ago&#8230;But I still think my moms is the best!</p>
