Meatballs in Mushroom Marsala Sauce

Meatballs in Mushroom Marsala Sauce

Meatballs in Mushroom Marsala Sauce are MMM… served over a billowy bed of buttery mashed potatoes, the ultimate comfort food. It tastes like something you’d get at an inn high atop the Swiss Alps.

The meatballs alone are so rich in flavor and well worth the effort, but if you’re short on time, just grab a bag of ready-made ones from the store on your way home. Dinner will be on the table by the time you kick off your shoes.

This recipe is unusual in that it calls for egg yolks which give the pastry a sunny hue and rich flavor. Grandma used to bake this for me all the time. Now, I carry on the tradition.
