Today I’m sharing the most misinterpreted Italian dish ever; polpette al sugo di pomodoro (meatballs in tomatosauce)
I’m sorry to break it to you but this is a ’secondo’ which means you eat it with a salad or bread per fare una buona scarpetta and not with pasta 🤌🏼
This is how we do it in our family♥️
This is the perfect girldinner, but also if you want something lean and high in protein without carbs, if you want a light datenight meal. Also great for menopause and of course kids love it as well.. I could go on and on.. you should try it.
É buonissimo

How to
