I have a confession. When I was little I tried to get Nonna Romana to make me SpaghettiOs. I’m not proud of it, but it is what it is. Nonna never gave in, but she was always ready with a solution. Thank God for Sicilian anelletti pasta, which are perfect little rings to recreate this Italian American comfort food. Nonna loved to get me involved in making this dish. She would make the sauce from scratch and then cook the pasta and have me roll all the mini meatballs alongside her! Over the years rolling meatballs with Nonna has become my therapy, especially when we use them to make one of my childhood favorites!
