Make these Italian meatballs in tomato sauce, and they'll turn out incredibly tender and juicy, swimming in a rich, flavorful sauce! 😍🤤 Trust us, everyone will be coming back for seconds! 👇
❤️INGREDIENTS for about 20 meatballs
600g ground beef
80g Parmesan cheese
150g stale soft bread
about 40ml milk
1 egg
parsley (optional)
salt, as needed
pepper, as needed
1 garlic clove (optional)
For the sauce:
400ml tomato passata
1 onion
salt, as needed
basil leaves
❤️METHOD
1. Soak the stale bread in milk, or in water if you want a lighter result.
2. Chop the parsley and set it aside. In a bowl, mix the ground beef with the parsley, 1 egg, salt, pepper, and the soaked bread. If you like, add the chopped garlic too.
3. Mix everything well and shape the meatballs. Brown them in a pan with extra virgin olive oil for a few minutes on all sides. 4. For a lighter version, you can also add the meatballs directly to the sauce without browning them first.
5. In another pan, make a simple tomato sauce with oil, onion, and tomato passata.
6. Cook for 10 minutes, then add the meatballs. Cook for about 20 minutes, then serve hot.
