I so craved Italian cuisine. My sister lives in Italy and I have never eaten better prepared Italian dishes than the one she does. I even thought I wouldn’t be able to cook like that, ever! Hear me on that now. Her frutti di mare carbonara, or mushroom risotto is unbeatable. However, my Herby Italian Meatballs are amazingly delicious!! I did it! And I am proud of myself… I am sure my sister would be, too!!!
