Meatballs and Gravy

I would like to make Grandma's noodles with meatballs and gravy.

—Dorothy

Hi Dorothy,

Head right over to my Spaghetti & Meatballs. It’s a traditional Italian-American recipe of meatballs made from ground beef served over pasta with spaghetti sauce—sometimes affectionately referred to as “gravy” in some Italian households!

    Hello Betty, My wife is baking an old-fashioned butter cake which looks great. We live at elevation 4,600 feet in the forest of southern Oregon. What, if anything, needs to be done to this recipe for a high elevation? Thank you ahead of time, Betty.
