Pasta and meatballs
Meatballs are pure comfort food and a hands-down success at dinner parties. Prep the balls the previous night using the ground meat of your choice (lamb, beef, veal, etc.), milk, breadcrumbs, egg, lots of spices, garlic, onion and fresh herbs. Fry in a pan (in batches) until cooked through. The next day, all you have to do is reheat the meatballs by simmering in homemade marinara sauce, and serve over fresh pasta.
