Any type of ground meat will work with this recipe, but a blend of pork and beef will yield the best results.

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.

Meatballs in Winter Tomato Sauce image

Yield Makes about 110 meatballs, serving 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
1 1/2 cups milk
2 medium onions
2 1/2 pounds ground round
1 1/2 pounds ground pork
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup minced fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
about 1/2 cup olive oil for browning meatballs
a 28- to 32-ounce can whole plum tomatoes including juice
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves

Steps:

  • In a large bowl soak bread crumbs in milk 10 minutes. Finely chop onions. Add onions and remaining meatball ingredients to bread crumb mixture and with your hands blend together until just combined well (do not overmix). Form mixture into walnut-size balls and arrange on large trays or baking sheets.
  • In a large heavy skillet heat 2 tablespoons oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown meatballs in batches without crowding, shaking skillet to maintain round shape and adding remaining oil as necessary. Transfer meatballs as browned (and any browned onions that fall from meatballs) with a slotted spoon to a 7- to 8-quart heavy kettle.
  • In a large sieve set over a bowl drain tomatoes, reserving juice, and chop. To meatballs add chopped tomatoes with reserved juice, garlic, and oregano and simmer, covered, 30 minutes. Transfer meatballs with a slotted spoon to a bowl and keep warm, loosely covered with foil. Briskly simmer sauce until reduced to about 2 cups, about 25 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper and gently stir in meatballs. (Meatballs in sauce may be made 3 days ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, before being chilled, covered. Reheat meatballs in sauce before serving.)

  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices. Fresh herbs and spices will give your meatballs the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Cook the meatballs thoroughly. Meatballs should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
  • Use a good quality tomato sauce. A good quality tomato sauce will make all the difference in the flavor of your dish. You can use a jarred sauce or make your own.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite pasta or rice. Meatballs in tomato wine sauce are a classic dish that can be served with a variety of sides.
