Spaghetti & Meatballs

Over the course of a decade, I have scoured the internet for the perfect meatball recipe. I’ve cancelled people over gatekeeping meatball recipes. For three years straight, I would ask new people for their favorite meatball recipe before anything else. I’m very serious about my meatballs.
