In reply to Carol ghisell. Hi Carol! A deep 9-inch round cake pan should work too—the springform just makes removal easier. Use one with 3-inch-deep sides, grease it well, and line the bottom with parchment. Let the cake cool completely before gently turning it out. Hope you enjoy it!

In reply to Rosalie Toleno. Writing Hi Rosalie! Yes, you can assemble it the day before, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight. Cook the pasta a little less than al dente and keep it extra saucy, since it will absorb some sauce in the fridge. Take it out about 30 minutes before baking to take the chill off, then bake as directed, allowing extra time until hot throughout. Hope you enjoy it!

In reply to Kelli. Writing Hi Kelli! I don’t use onions in mine. My grandmother always said, “Save the onions for the burgers!” Everyone has their own way of making meatballs, but I’ve always followed her no-onion rule.

Best meatball recipe I’ve ever tried. I do sauté my garlic first in 1/4 c EVOO before adding to meats along with using Italian sausage in place of grd beef. Delicious
