(131,413 posts)NOW I'll try to reconstruct meals I made when my family was a family! Won't be so easy, as it's been a WHILE!
Brand of Ital Sausage I used to make with pasta no longer available, so that much wind's been taken out of my sails. WAS a favorite family dish, served with fusilli.

(30,254 posts)How come you don't like the meatballs? It's a traditional meatball recipe. I bet that they come out great.
just prefer Ital sausage.

(9,282 posts)Very similar to the recipe I use. I make a triple batch of them every year for DH's work holiday party. Keep them warm in crock pots (with jarred sauce) and serve on good hoagie rolls with Parmesan. There's never any leftovers

(30,254 posts)When I do make them I make extras because they freeze well. It's good to have them on a week night when pressed for time.
Well, make a batch for yourself. That way you can be guaranteed to have some to eat at home.

(31,240 posts)I add some sweet Italian sausage seasoned with fennel seed to the ground meat, plus Parmesan cheese. I prefer Italian parsley over regular, and I also add ground allspice, grated lemon peel and a ton more garlic. I soak the crumbled bread in milk too. No onion -- that goes in the marinara (which I add acidity to with any red wine that's opened).
For best results, serve with fresh spaghettini (thinner) or angel hair pasta. Don't overcook the red sauce. Parmesan cheese can be added on top along with fresh Genovese or sweet basil.
