Meatballs with Mozzarella

Homemade Meatballs with Mozzarella (4)

We love cheese and especially fresh mozzarella because it is so soft and juicy. One day we came across the idea of meatballs with a core of melted mozzarella cheese, it just sounded so delicious that we had to try it out. This recipe for meatballs with mozzarella is simple to cook and has a great taste - we have adjusted the ingredients back and forth and this is now our favorite meatball recipe. We normally serve these meatballs together with our homemade pasta and our homemade tomato sauce. I you are in hurry you can just buy a tomato sauce and some pasta from the super market - then you have yourself a super delicious and easy dinner.
