RECIPE BELOW!
Today I've convinced my Nonna to share her slightly-untraditional Italian meatball recipe with me: Her Polpettes Con Riso. Let's get cooking (Watch til the end to see what Nonna rates my dish on a scale from 1-10!!!)

And let me know what recipe you want from Nonna next!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED
-1 lb of pork
-1 lb of beef
-2 sausages with the casing removed
-3/4 medium-small loaf of stale Italian bread
-Milk
-Salt "to taste"
-Pepper "to taste"
-1 "touch" of nutmeg
-1 "handful" of chopped parsley
-2 "spoonfuls" of freshly grated parmesan
-2 Eggs
-1/2 medium onion, chopped
-1 drizzle of olive oil
-1 & 1/2 cans of crushed tomatoes
-Water
-1/2 tsp of sugar
-1 "handful" of basil
-White rice

HOW TO COOK IT (according to Nonna)
0:31 - Meet Nonna!
0:57 - Prep your ingredients.
1:37 - Soak the inside (without the crust) of bread in just enough warm milk to cover the bread.
2:32 - Mix your meats then season with your nutmeg and parsley + some Italian-sized pinches of salt and pepper.
3:00 - Strain the milk out of your bread then add the bread to your meat mixture.
3:24 - Add your parmesan and eggs to the meat mixture.
4:10 - Chill meat mixture in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
4:20 - In a wide and shallow braising pan, add your olive oil and onion, sweat for a few minutes.
5:09 - Add your crushed tomatoes, a bit of water, salt, pepper, sugar, and basil to the same pan.
5:38 - Let pan cook on medium-high heat for about 10 minutes.
5:46 - Remove your meat mixture from the refrigerator & prep 1 medium-sized bowl of water.
5:53 - Create golf-ball sized meatballs by rolling the meat in your hands, and add them to your sauce pan! Nonna note: Immediately put each individual meatball into your pan after rolling. Don't wait for all meatballs to be rolled before adding to your pan.
6:50 - Nonna note: Wet your hands using your bowl of water between every 3-4 meatballs.
7:02 - Shake your pan in small circles to make room for more meatballs, then add more meatballs. Why? Nonna says so and it works!
7:45 - Let sauce pan cook for 20 minutes, uncovered.
8:25 - Lower heat after 10 minutes until sauce stops bubbling.
9:15 - Remove pan from heat.
10:14 - Plate by adding as many meatballs as you like to the center of a bowl of cooked white rice.

12:55 - Help yourself to seconds because it's just TOO good!
