These are a favorite at parties and gatherings. The recipe is easy, and the meatballs can be made well ahead of time and frozen until needed. I think what makes them taste so good is the sauce. -Nathalie Guest, Caledon, Ontario

My mother-in-law made this all the time and passed on the recipe to me. The wine gives it a wonderful flavour. It is nice served with rice or pasta.
