World's Ultimate Meatball


For those of you who are familiar with the film Rocky 3, you will understand this reference. Rocky fights Hulk Hogan who labels the contest "the world's ultimate male vs. the world's ultimate meatball!"

This weekend I tried to make the world's ultimate meatball. I used this recipe from our white-haired friend who hosts Diners Drive-ins and Dives. WARNING! This recipe is time consuming and calls for a lot of ingredients that you probably don't have around the house.

It was amazing though. I only used fresh basil and didn't use the other fresh herbs. Also, I just used crushed tomatoes and not the San Marzano tomatoes. It was really good, I held back the red pepper flakes and just did 1 teaspoon, it gave them a good amount of kick but not too much.

These were really good, enjoy with a nice frosted mug of birch beer.
