This recipe makes a lot. I halve the recipe (don’t ask about the 1/2 egg, it is messy) for our family and still have meatballs to freeze. I freeze the extras before I bake them and then pull them from the freezer and put them directly in the oven for about 25-30 minutes. With the whole recipe, I can usually get about 25-30 meatballs.

Fresh pasta is the best choice for this dish; supermarkets sell 9-ounce containers of fresh pasta in the refrigerator section (see related article for tasting results). When boiling the pasta, undercook it slightly (even shy of al dente) because the pasta cooks an additional minute or two in the sauce. Note that Fettuccine Alfredo must be served immediately; it does not hold or reheat well.
