You may remember grandma spending the entire afternoon making her famous meatballs; taking her time to mix the meat with breadcrumbs and seasoning, roll it into spheres and slowly simmer them in a pan ...
If there's a more comforting meal than pasta and meatballs, I'm not sure what it is. Give me a good homemade marinara sauce, a fistful of linguini, and seven or eight meatballs, and I'm a happy man.
