Last time we were in Las Vegas, we dined at Giada’s restaurant and loved it! We are not big fans of Las Vegas as a destination, but were there for a conference and decided to enjoy some of the dining spots in town.
Actually, there are several great restaurants in the area and this one was a favorite! The restaurant is located in The Cromwell Hotel and has Giada’s “signature” EVERYWHERE. We got a nice table in the open-air dining room overlooking the fountains at the Bellagio. Very nice!
Anyway, we tried the Chicken Marsala Meatballs and decided to make them when we returned home. The recipe does not require frying the meatballs. You broil them in the oven and finish cooking them in the sauce. This keeps the meatballs moist and delicious.
There are several steps, but this is a fairly easy dish. Sometimes we have these with pasta, and sometimes with just a green salad and some good bread for dipping in the yummy sauce.
