I give four stars as written, but this easily goes to five stars if you tweek it just a bit. First, ONE cup of olive oil to fry meatballs?? Umm, no. If you choose to fry your meatballs, trust me, there is plenty of fat in the meat to fry them without any added oils. Just place meatballs in a preheated skillet and brown them. But, a much better and healthier way yet is to brown them in the oven. Also, I do not put any water into my meatball recipes. (There is plenty of moisture in ground meat to begin with, you don't need to add more.) It just makes the mixture too thin and sticky and makes for meatballs much more likely to fall apart. Really, you don't need the water and I think you'll like not only the taste and texture better without it, but you'll find your meatballs stay together much better.
