Geoff, where's the bread? The egg?? I've never heard of meatballs that are just meat. And two sausage patties doesn't seem like a lot of pork. And didn't you cook the meatballs in the sauce??? I really like the Barefoot Contessa, but this recipe doesn't sound very good.

My daughter bought my mom the Carmine's cookbook for Christmas. I have to take a look at their recipe.
