Growing up in Rome, I had a wonderful nanny, Tata Rosa, who used to make the most delicious and smallest meatballs, which my siblings and I loved to eat. I nowadays replicate them –when I’m feeling patient enough to roll tiny balls - for my daughters who also love them. Serve as canapes and finger food, which work a treat.
