Chef Ludo's take on classic Italian meatballs. His are hearty yet soft and fluffy meatball that use a combination of lamb and pork, complemented by pine nuts and sweet currants. They are cooked in a rich tomato sauce and served with cheesy polenta for a warm and cozy, comforting dish.

A bit too salty. Maybe cut the parm added to the polenta if also giving extra parm to top dish. Also wasn't a fan of the pine nuts. Needs more parsley
