This recipe is my favourite.I enjoy making this as much as I love eating it.This was on my menu for Valentines Day .Though this is made with meat balls and mince meat.I had modified it a little by using chicken sausages cut in small circles.You can choose chicken or pork sausages whichever you prefer.
