It was pretty simple to make - yet again. I have had some and it's super yummy - a little spicy (red pepper flakes) but good. I could not find the San Marzano tomatoes so I just used some canned tomatoes that I think were stewed or already cut up (not diced). I used a white bread that I think was a sourdough bread and not plain white bread so the meatballs became swollen as they cooked. I just didn't want to buy a whole loaf of white bread when I know we won't eat it. Well, I won't because I don't like white bread - only whole grain wheat or potato bread for me.
This one was a bit more involved then some of the others due to the making of meatballs, which means squashing meat and other ingredients with your hands and then forming meatballs (ick).
Shane liked this too, it does have portabella mushroom caps diced up in the stoup. I have not told him that since he abhors mushrooms ("they're fungus"), but he did say I could cook with mushrooms as long as he is never told or aware they are in the dish. This definitely freezes well, because I had it after it was frozen.
