Meatballs in tomato sauce, the recipe.
Some time ago I was on board the Costa Fascinosa where, every now and then, the great Maitre d’Hotel Gianni prepared succulent dishes for us!
One of these were meatballs in tomato sauce, of which I leave you a simple and tasty recipe to prepare them at home.
Ingredients
For the meatballs:
– 350 g minced meat (beef or mixed);
– 50 g stale bread or chopped wholemeal friselle;
– 50 g grated cheese (Grana Padano or Parmigiano);
– 1 egg;
– 20 ml milk;
– 2 tablespoons chopped parsley;
– Salt and pepper to taste.
For the sauce:
– 720 ml tomato puree;
– 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil;
– 1 clove garlic;
– Salt and pepper to taste;
– Fresh basil (optional).
Preparation
First, let's prepare the meatballs.
In a large bowl, mix the minced meat, the chopped bread, the grated cheese, the egg, the milk, the parsley, the salt and the pepper. Work the mixture well with your hands until you obtain a smooth dough. Shape medium-sized meatballs.
Then let's prepare the sauce.
In a saucepan, heat the oil and brown the garlic for a few minutes. Add the tomato puree, salt, pepper and a few basil leaves if desired. Cook over low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the meatballs to the sauce and cook for about 20 minutes, turning them gently halfway through cooking to ensure they cook evenly.
Serve the meatballs hot, perhaps with a sprinkling of chopped parsley and a little chilli pepper if you like it spicy.
Enjoy! If you have any questions or suggestions, let me know!

I want to give you some advice for shopping: to prepare Asian rice I normally use this rice cooker, to cut this knife set Victorinox and Asian foods are almost always served in these bowls in ceramic.
