Che bella! Pull up a seat to the festa and dig in! Your polpette sound like the “Fu-Balls” I make using tofu instead of meat, Joe — similar ingredients with that fine Italian hand. Che bella!

Not as easy as I thought... I see all your recipes and great photos (I need a new camera by the way!) and it Pops out at me. Love it. The next one will be easier:) Looking forward to the other recipes.<br/>Sally - Spppooookkkky! It's a sign! "day old bread"... see, I should have used that to explain it! Most people would be like, "who has day old bread laying around" Italians do!:) Thanks for all the nice comments… let me correct something: I cook all the time, but have never had to explain a recipe or write it down in a way I feel is easy for someone else to understand.

I was telling Daniele about your polpette last night, because I found that idea so fascinating. He told me that it reminded him of a dish they make in the very north of Italy: Knederly or Canederli.<br/><br/>Anyway, I thought I'd give it a go. As we are off to do the spesa this afternoon, I had it in mind to get some sausage meat and ricotta (already got the day old bread).<br/><br/>Before we go, I've got an English lesson to give and needed to print something off. I send my stuff to his printer. Out it came - but also out came your recipe! I asked him if he'd printed it, but he said he hadn't. <br/><br/>Obviously, I must have 'bad clicked' as Dan would say. In any case, that's a sure sign that I've got to try them now! (It's also a sign that I need a new pair of glasses.) Joe,

I'm so jealous:)<br/><br/>I love the idea of ricotta in the polpette and also the idea of poaching them in the broth. I've had similar tiny ones in thin 'brothy' soup here in Umbria and they were very good. Bravo, Joe.

Never would I have thought of adding ricotta to sausage meat and then I wouldn't have thought of boiling the polpette. <br/><br/>Thanks, I've noted this one and shall give it a try.
