Evolution of Fettucini Pomodora with Mini Meatballs

The dinner plans began with the making of mini-meatballs.  I was out of bread crumbs completely, so I subbed in some semolina flour.  That plus beef, pork, parmesan, egg, and italian seasonings, and a quick bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  Step one complete.
 Next up was the pomodoro sauce.  I used the Tratorria Grappolo recipe:  onion and garlic sauteed in EVOO, add 28 oz whole peeled tomatoes, and simmer for 25 minutes, mashing up the tom's.  Then add 3-4 basil leaves (chiffonade) at the end.  It smells really good!

Step three:  cover and flavor the meatballs with pomodoro sauce.  When it's dinner time, we'll get around to boiling up our fettucini noodles.
