1 large egg
¼ cup panko bread crumbs
2 cloves garlic, minced

Yield Makes thirty 1 1/2-inch meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup milk
2 slices best-quality bread, crusts removed
1 pound ground pork
1 pound ground beef
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt (use 1 teaspoon if Parmesan is substituted for the Romano)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Two 28-ounce cans best-quality whole tomatoes, pulsed with juices in a blender
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, heat the milk. Soak the bread in the milk, turning the slices over to absorb it. Cool and mince the bread. Place it in a large bowl. Add the meats, garlic, onion, eggs, cheese, parsley, pepper, and salt. Using clean hands, mix together until completely combined.
  • Have a rimmed baking sheet or platter ready. Roll into 1 1/2-inch meatballs. (If you periodically run cold water over your hands, the meat won't stick to them as you roll.) If you have time, chill the raw meatballs to firm them up.
  • Heat a 14-inch skillet (or two smaller skillets to fry in batches) over high heat. Add the olive oil and when it is very hot, add the meatballs in a single layer. Don't crowd the pan; work in batches if necessary. Fry the meatballs without moving for a few minutes, then turn as they cook to brown on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Spoon out any excess oil from the pan, carefully scraping around the meatballs.
  • Add the tomatoes and scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate all the browned bits. Simmer for 30 minutes. Serve hot pasta with 3 meatballs on top, some sauce, the grated cheese, and freshly ground black pepper.

Provided by Chef Capani

Categories     Sauces

Time 25m

Yield 4 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons basil, finely chopped
1 teaspoon oregano, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon thyme, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a sauce pan over medium heat.
  • Add garlic, onion, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  • Cook until onion is translucent (about 2 - 3 minutes).
  • Add tomato sauce, water, and sugar.
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Add basil, oregano, thyme, and parsley. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough.
  • Chill the meatball mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help the meatballs hold their shape.
  • Brown the meatballs in a pan before adding them to the sauce. This will help to seal in the flavor and prevent the meatballs from falling apart.
  • Use a good quality tomato sauce. A homemade sauce is always best, but you can also use a store-bought sauce if you're short on time.
  • Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the meatballs to become tender.
  • Serve the meatballs over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

These herb and onion meatballs in tomato sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They're perfect for a weeknight dinner or a weekend lunch. The meatballs are moist and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and tangy. Serve them over your favorite pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
