The Story Behind Italian Fried Meatballs in our Italian Family Home What better way growing up was there than to wake up to the smell of meatballs frying. Fresh garlic, fresh parsley waffled the house with this mouth-watering aroma. You could hear the oil popping from the heated oil and moisture in the meat. The hearty stuff is more absorbent. These beat 'Meatball Nirvana' And they held up too!" So my biggest praise for these meatballs is that after I made a double-batch, w/o changing the recipe, I froze them into weekly portions, but after thawing a handful of them in sauce last night, I couldn't have been more delighted that they held their meatball shape and didn't fall apart!
