AUTHENTIC ITALIAN MEATBALLS WITH TOMATO SAUCE
Just about anywhere you go in Italy, you'll find Meatballs ('polpette')! And just about anywhere you go, you'll find a different recipe for them. However, despite local variations, meatballs across the country of Italy mostly share a few key ingredients in common. We are partial to our Italian Grandma recipe, served in a quick tomato sauce.

Steps:
- Boil, peel and mash the yellow potatoes. Mix in 1 Tbs of olive oil and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together: pork, beef, grated Parmigiano Reggiano, parsley, salt, black pepper, minced garlic and nutmeg.
- Beat one whole egg and add to the mix.
- Add the mashed potatoes. Mix all ingredients thoroughly with a spoon or your hands.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Even better? Let them rest for 8-24 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
- Add several tablespoons of olive oil, the garlic, and tomato pulp or purée to a medium pot.
- Bring the sauce to a boil then reduce heat. Add salt, red chili pepper and fresh basil to taste.
- Simmer covered for 30 minutes. Remove the cloves of garlic from the sauce after the simmer.
- Form meatballs into 20-22 round balls. Coat each ball with fine breadcrumbs.
- Add a high-heat oil (like peanut) to a skillet (about 2 inches or 5 cm high). Heat oil to around 355° F - 375° F (180° C - 190° C).
- Fry the meatballs in batches. When the bottom of the meatballs brown, flip and continue frying until golden brown.
- When you think the batch is done, remove one meatball and cut open to inspect. Meat should NOT be pink inside. When meatballs are finished frying, transfer to a surface covered with paper towels.
- Bring tomato sauce to simmer. Add meatballs to the sauce. Simmer meatballs in sauce for 30 minutes and serve!

Steps:
- Make the sauce: in a heavy saucepan cook the onion and the garlic in the oil over low heat, stirring, for 2 minutes; add parsley, basil, tomatoes, tomato paste, stock, wine, sugar, romano, salt, and oregano, and simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
- While sauce is cooking, prepare the meatballs: in a large bowl combine bread (with liquid squeezed from it), chuck (it's really good if you grind your own!), eggs, romano, parsley, garlic, the oregano, salt, and pepper; mix well and form into 8 meatballs.
- In a large skillet brown the meatballs in the oil over high heat, turning them often; make sure to not crowd them in the pan, otherwise they won't brown properly.
- Transfer the browned meatballs to the sauce with a slotted spoon and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
- You can serve them with your favorite pasta right away, but these improve in flavor if they're cooled and chilled, covered, and refrigerated overnight or up to 2 days before serving.

Then, add tomato sauce slowly followed by parsley. Stir well while always stirring the bottom, middle so it doesn't stick or use a heat diffuser. Cook on med/high heat until it begins to boil. Lower heat to very low.
- Then, in a large bowl, add all of the meatball ingredients. Using your hands, mix the ingredients until well combined.
- After the sauce has cooled on your stove, away from heat, which will take hours, you may begin to put the leftovers in plastic containers to freeze or refrigerate.Don't put hot sauce directly in the refrigerator or freezer!This homemade tomato sauce will keep in your refrigerator for up to one week and several months in the freezer. If you plan on not using it within that time, freeze it but, remember, if you freeze it on day 5, when you thaw it, it may not last another 5 days in your fridge. Freeze it while it's still fresh for maximum flavor and longevity.Put small batches into 16 oz. plastic containers or 32 oz plastic containers (which you can order from Amazon) and freeze them. Simply pull them out when you want to make pasta and serve tomato sauce with it.
