Pork Meatballs with Asiago Lemon & Parsley

Everyone adores a juicy meatball and that’s why practically every country has its own version. It has to be said that this recipe is basically Italian but hugely influenced by the Americans. The Southern Italian immigrants who moved to America at the turn of the century took liberties with the ‘polpetta’ (Italian for meatball) and morphed it into spaghetti and meatballs. Italians don’t usually eat them with pasta: they are more of a snack or a dish on their own.
