“If you haven’t tried Patti’s pasta sauce and turkey meatballs, then I don’t know what your waiting for. It’s one of those perfect, easy to follow recipes you can make for the whole family that’s even better the second day! I like to put some aside and freeze for future use or to turn into a new recipe. I have food sensitivities so I love that it’s made without any onion and garlic and you would never know! ”
