These veal meatballs with secret sauce are my son's favorite way to eat minced meat and the easiest way for him to eat vegetables. But what makes them winners is that they are easy to combine with everything you have in the fridge, and the same goes well with a salad as with rice, pasta or potatoes.

And if there's one way to eat meatballs it's this. I've been calling this secret sauce for many years. My son was a vegetable eater, but yet he's always lost his sauces, so for pasta I invented this sauce that I secretly called in the most natural way. When I first made it, she asked me, "Mom, what's with this rich sauce?" and I said, "I can't tell you Javi, it's a secret sauce," knowing that if I told her what the sauce's wearing, I wouldn't eat it. For years he ate vegetables in the form of sauce many times, and nowadays it is my nephews who take the secret sauce so happy.

It is also a sauce that will serve as a wild card and that you will take with meatballs as with pasta or with vegetables because it has all the flavor of what is done at home with love.

Today I bring them to celebrate this rainy Tuesday that we put color this good, and that you can take any day in the want to eat rich without complications, let's go for this recipe!
