  Italian version is called polpette. More often boiled in a sauce rather that fried in a pan.

    So we can agree that “pasta with meatballs” is not a common dish even in the north of Italy? I rarely see polpetti in general at restaurants and I never saw such paring with pasta.

      Agreed on this. Polpette is supposed to be a second course, while pasta sauces are supposed to be “saucy”, not over-clumpy as polpette

  In the north, they exist, usually in tomato sauce, but not as a pasta sauce

  This moment from The Godfather is a staple of the “Italian American” fiction, made more ridiculous after The Sopranos.
