Ingredients:

---MEATBALLS---
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
2 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cloves garlic -- minced
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs -- beaten
1/4 cup milk
---SAUCE---
2 cups dry white wine
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups beef stock or broth
1/2 cup half and half
8 ounces elbow macaroni -- cooked and drained
 

Preparation:

To prepare Meatballs, mix together ground beef, tomato paste, garlic, cheese, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, eggs and milk in large bowl. Mixture will be soft. To prepare Sauce, bring wine to simmer in large, deep skillet. With hands, pinch off teaspoonfuls of meat mixture and drop gently into wine (use both hands). Do not crowd pan, but let meatballs simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes, without touching. Gently turn meatballs and cook 10 to 15 minutes longer. Pour off most of remaining liquid. Dissolve cornstarch in beef stock and add to skillet. Simmer about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add half and half and cooked macaroni. Stir well. Heat through and serve. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
