Grandma’s Italian Meatballs Recipe
Ingredients
Meatballs
1 kg minced beef
40 g breadcrumb
60 g cheese – it should be Parmesan cheese though you can use whatever hard cheese
75 g milk
4 g sea salt
4 g nutmeg
Tomato sauce
1 l tomato passata
80 ml mineral water
4 garlic cloves
5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 g sea salt (or to your taste)
Direction
▪︎ in a bowl mix together all the meatballs’ ingredients keeping the parsley for last
▪︎ mix until well combined and form your meatballs, we roll ours to fit in the palm of our hands
▪︎ once you rolled all your meatballs keep them aside
▪︎ place a pot on the stove on medium heat, add your oil and then the garlic
▪︎ fry the garlic for 1 minute then add the tomato passata and the water, cook it for 3/4 minutes
▪︎ add your meatballs making sure to fit them properly, do not stack them on the top of each other
▪︎ close the pot and let it cook for 10 minutes, do not open it!
▪︎ after 10 minutes jiggle the pot making sure the meatballs are not stuck to the bottom of the pot or together
▪︎ taste the sauce and add salt if needed
▪︎ keep cooking uncovered for 5 to 10 minutes, as per your liking – if you like your sauce softer cook it for 5 minutes, if you want the sauce thicker cook it for 10 minutes
▪︎ we recommend you checking the meatballs after 5 minutes as they should be ready, cooked through but still soft and juicy
▪︎ you can remove the meatballs and keep cooking the sauce if you like
▪︎ cook your pasta in salted boiling water as per instructions on the package
▪︎ strain it well
▪︎ add the pasta to your sauce and enjoy
▪︎ you can otherwise have meatballs with polenta, vegetables, mashed potatoes and why not, in a sandwich!
ENJOY💕
