LIGHTENED UP VERSION OF ANNE BURRELL'S EXCELLENT MEATBALLS
I just adore Anne Burrell's Excellent Meatballs recipe. But for the sake of calories on a diet, I came up with this substitute. I got the 2 thumbs up from my Italian hubs, so it's a keeper! We pair this with some marinara and homemade zucchini noodles.
