Description
These meatballs are loaded with complex flavours that come together in a simple recipe. Fresh garlic and basil and a lightness that balances the density of the meat perfectly. I’d encourage you to double or triple this batch to freeze the extras, because you’ll definitely be wanting this again and again!
