MEATBALLS WITH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• For the meatballs: In a mixing bowl, add the ground beef, ricotta cheese, egg, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmigiano cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed. With your hands, shape the meatballs into the size of golf balls and then pat them down so they will evenly cook.
• For the tomato sauce: In a large pot, heat the extra-virgin olive oil and cook the onions until translucent. Add the tomato puree and bring to a boil. Add the salt, and pepper, to taste and lower the heat to medium. Add the uncooked meatballs to the pot and let cook on medium heat for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat half the olive oil in a saucepan and cook the onion until soft and golden. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Remove a quarter of the mixture and set aside to cool.
• Add the passata to the pan with the sugar and half the basil and parsley. Season and bring to the boil. Add the red pepper, partially cover the pan and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Put the reserved onion and garlic into a large bowl with the steak mince, fresh breadcrumbs and beaten egg. Add the rest of the chopped basil and flat-leaf parsley and 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and cracked black pepper and mix together with your hands until all the ingredients are just evenly combined.
• Wet your hands, shape the mixture into 12 evenly sized meatballs, then roll in flour.
• Heat the rest of the olive oil in a deep frying pan and cook the meatballs until brown - you may need to do this in two batches if your pan isn't large enough to fit all 12 meatballs. When all the meatballs are browned, add the tomato sauce, then cover the pan and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti following pack instructions. Serve with the meatballs and sprinkle the rest of the Parmesan cheese on top.

ITALIAN MEATBALLS IN TOMATO SAUCE

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.
