I love family recipes. I love to make my grandmother recipes. However, usually they take a bit of time, and I don’t have too much time to spend in the kitchen. However, myself and my family still want a meal that tastes like it was homemade, and that is why I love these quick skillet meatballs with Ragu sauce. The sauce is homemade from a family recipe in Naples, Italy, so they have done half the work for me already!
These meatballs are so good, they take just minutes to make and my family loves them. I like to eat them on spaghetti, on a meatball sub, or I just love eating them in the Ragu sauce by themselves.
The founder Assunta Cantisano was born in Naples, Italy and settled in Rochester, New York in 1914. During the great depression she needed to feed her family. She decided to plant a tomato garden to make the sauces from her family recipe of Naples, Italy. The neighbors got wind of how delicious it was and wanted some, so she started selling jars of her infamous sauce from her front porch to help support her family. It became so popular, she started the Ragu packing company and Ragu has been a success ever since.
