Redefine simplicity with this one ingredient sauce...
- Make the gorgonzola meatballs (Carmen's basic
Meatball recipe) and cook thoroughly.
- Place in a chafing dish on a low setting.
- Here comes the complicated part - pour half a bottle
of dry white wine over the meatballs to keep them moist.
- Pour yourself a glass or two with the left over
wine.
- Serve and look like a gourmet genius!
