Have you ever been to a party where the big hit item was not the saucy little meatballs? Okay, okay, you have, but still... you cannot deny the appeal of these little suckers. And so easy! As a host, you're not stuck doing any actual cooking, they offer a heated contrast to your sad crudité plate, and all you need for service is napkins and toothpicks, making for super-easy party cleanup. Don't think of the pre-prepared ingredients as gauche... think of them as mid-century chic. Your great aunt would be proud!
