This recipe is ideal for a weeknight dinner, as it comes together quickly and with simple ingredients. The mushroom sauce, besides being delicious, is a perfect way to incorporate vegetables subtly, even for those who are reluctant to eat them. The touch of nutmeg and black pepper enhances the flavor of the mushrooms, and the milk gives it a smooth, velvety texture. You can use chicken or mixed meatballs, according to your preference. The side of peas sautéed with Serrano ham and white wine provides a contrast of textures and flavors that rounds out the dish.
