Observations:

This recipe is a tremendous pain in the ass to prepare if you do it as written. Fortunately it is also pretty forgiving if you want to swing left or right with it. I add olive oil and Parmesan, and usually just use whatever herbs I have on hand, rather than buy a whole package just for a quarter cup. (You could also likely get away with using some dried if you’re not particular… though this would be a last resort.) The idea is to make a big, soft, spiced meatball for a plate of spaghetti. Shake it up and make it the way you like the best.
