A Tip Worth Passing On

Have you ever wondered what the fix was for meatballs that fall apart in the meat sauce when preparing spaghetti? I have read that if you develop a crust on the meatballs they will hold their shape when heated in the sauce. What is the easiest way to do this? Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon sugar in the oil before you brown the meatballs. Place the meatballs in the fry pan with a space between to prevent "steaming" them. No more shortcuts of browning the meatballs in the oven unless you don't mind a less than perfect round meatball when you sauce and serve spaghetti!
