Meatballs in Romanoff Sauce

by Steve E in User Contributed

So rich, so flavorful and inspired by the best pasta sauce I've ever had.

Where does the ground pork go??

I am new to this site and I'm just learning my way around it. I have read the recipe over and over again but I can't find where the ground pork goes. Can anybody help me out?

Ground Pork Mystery.

Thanks for that catch.
I think I'm better at creating recipes and playing with them then I am at writing them down. I don't think I've made meatballs the same way since writing this down. Every time is a new generation trying to improve on the last time. I think that's what cooking needs to be about. Not following so much as taking inspiration and making it your own. I hope this recipe inspires you to try something new and improve on what I did and then you can share your creation with us.
Thanks again for finding the missing pork and I've updated the recipe.

Good food (and a couple of changes perhaps?)

I made this tonight and it was really good. Lots of flavour and therefore I'll make it again.

Next time though I'd like to add some spinach or something more "green" just to make it look a little more colourful.

Also, I used single cream to make it less sweet and that worked for me better.

I thought it was a lot of food (meatballs) for four people - I made thirty meatballs from the 2lbs of meat.

Great though. Thanks.

I'd try this

Looks tasty.

Change is Good

The more I learn about cooking the more I want to go back and change my own recipes. I see at least three things I'd like to change right away. Starting with using fresh tomato sauce which I didn't know how easy it was to make when creating this the first time. That's what I use with this recipe now.

I now cut the cream in half. I like the idea of the spinach though it was not part of the original dish I was trying to copy I think it would be great. I think taking the inspiration and adding whatever you want to try is key. I rarely follow a recipe even my own after reading this one over again.

My version of the meatballs called for 1lb of meat not 2 but seriously can you really have too many meatballs? I may just up mine next time too.

Glad you enjoyed my version now go make it your own!
