Easy Spicy Italian Meatballs for Two
Spicy Italian Meatballs for Two
Have you ever wanted to impress someone by cooking a romantic meal to show them your culinary skills? I know I have. This recipe is easy enough for anyone, beginner or experienced. I made these for the first time tonight and my wife loved them, so I decided to record my measurements for y'all. They pack a little bit of heat, but not too much where you need to keep a glass of milk ready.
No Onions in This Recipe
My wife is picky when it comes to onions, so I used onion powder, instead, which means NO ONION BREATH! "I can't believe you made these that quickly! AND there's no onions. That's why I don't eat meatballs, because they always have onions in them." - Alayna
