What a symphony of flavors. Deliciously moist meatballs made with ground sirloin are complemented by notes of fresh basil in a mushroom wine sauce over noodles.

I used canned diced tomatoes instead of fresh but otherwise followed the directions. The wine sauce is delicious! I don't think you even need to cook the meatballs separately - just add them to the sauce while it is simmering after you season it. They'll cook in the delicious mixture.
