Old Fashioned Italian Meatballs

This is the end of the month and I need to clean out the fridge and use up some things in the freezer. I need to make room for the things I will be buying for the month.

I decided to make meatballs.

I  made some old  fashioned Roman style meatballs.

 Rome style meatballs are the traditional style that most people are familiar with . I usually  make Corsican Italian food.  Corsica is at the boot of Italy and a combination of French and Italian.
