Ingredients: I think this is the first recipe I clipped out of my Mom's Chatelaine Magazine and made it 'my special recipe'. A lot of my Mom's meal ideas came from many years of Chatelaine subscriptions. She read through them every month, marking recipes she wanted to try. I don't know if she really paid attention to the articles or fashion ideas in each edition….just the recipes. They were made for housewives and used simple ingredients. The results however, were never disappointing as they were "tried and true in the Chatelaine Home Kitchens".

Notes: Most recipes with sauces always taste better the next day, once the flavours have had a chance to blend and soak in.
Its a good idea to make extra Meat Balls to freeze; its a quick meal to make a sauce to serve with them.
