My Mum used to make these so I was overjoyed to find the recipe. I made my own pasta sauce with ham, mushroom, tomato, garlic and herbs but the meatballs were kind of bland. COuld this be that I used leftover cornbread for the breadcrumbs or I needed a larger onion? Maybe, I will try again. There was nothing wrong with them I just like a little higher taste kick than my first try turned out. - 12 Oct 2011
