When Nonna Antoinette wants to make something super special that will impress her holiday guests, she makes her Nonna’s famous sartù di riso alla Napoletana.

Nonna Antoinette makes a mold of meat sauce–flavored rice in a Bundt pan and fills it with sautéed peas, pancetta, and hard-boiled eggs. And did I mention tiny meatballs?
