First I made the meatballs, and - why had I never done this before - baked them at 375F for 10 minutes. They turned out amazing, plus the house did not smell like fried meat {yay!!!}, then I put the rest together. And yes, I followed Isabel's recipe almost to a "t" {I did add a little bit of nutmeg to the spinach mixture}. I was a little hesitant about the four quart's of soup {it will be great again tonight}, and was wondering why it needed to be on the stove for a minimum of three hours. Well, let me tell you something magical happens with the soup when it simmers for that long. The meatballs were amazing, the flavors just all melted together. Wow!!! Everyone loved it - including Ron, the girls, well and me :) An easy - not quick - but very easy recipe. The house smells fantastic, and the result it just amazing. Oh, and in case you are wondering I used Parmesiano Regiano.
