"I used ground beef instead of sirloin, egg beaters instead of an egg and I added 1t of red pepper flakes. These are by far the most delicious meatballs I've ever made. My only caveat is that the beef produced quite a lot of oil, so these need to be cooked on a sheet with sides so the oil doesn't burn and engulf your apartment in smoke.

I didn't make the sauce but used Prego from the can...sorry Rachael!

"There was a very tense almost-scrambled-eggs moment when my mom was stirring the cream and it started thickening VERY RAPIDLY. However, we immediately took it off of the heat, poured it into a giant bowl and in lieu of putting it through a very fine sieve, I just whisked the heck out of it. I haven't put it all together yet, so cross your fingers!

p.s. I had the foresight to separate the ten eggs and cream them with the sugar before I put the milk on the stove to heat. This is was a literal STROKE OF GENIUS because there's no way I would've been able to do it fast enough when the milk was heated and ready to go.
