Meatballs + Tomato Sauce for 4

Broders’ signature, award-winning, crowd-pleasing, housemade meatballs will have you saying “Mamma Mia!” A decades-old family recipe using a savory mix of beef, pork, cheese, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, garlic and spices, these meatballs are simmered in a deliciously fresh Sugo Betti sauce to create a tender and juicy texture.

Back in 1981, Molly and Thomas Broder took an inspirational trip to the culinary capital of Bologna, Italy, and they returned to the States with a goal of bringing authentic Italian food and fresh-made pasta to Minneapolis. The following year, they opened Broders’ Cucina Italiana, and since then (along with additional restaurants, including a nearby “pasta bar”) it’s become a cornerstone of the community, and one of the very best Italian restaurants and markets in America.
