Spaghetti with Four-Meat Polpette

In Italy, meatballs are known as "polpette" and are often served bathing in sauce without pasta. In this recipe, Chef Pino recreates authentic polpette by combining four types of meat (ground pork, ground beef, sausage, and veal) with cheese and sourdough bread. These traditional-style polpette are then served with al dente spaghetti and a rich tomato sauce; the result is Chef Pino's unique version of a familiar classic.
