AUTHENTIC ITALIAN MEATBALLS
Meatball recipes are often challenged by chefs who claim, "Mine are the best!" Even though my meatballs ARE the best, I will make no such claim. Try them for yourself! This meatball recipe was given to me by my father who got it from a little old lady from Italy that he knew. It's amazing that she gave up her recipe to him, but I sure am glad she did!

- In a large pan add the olive oil, garlic, tomato puree/passata, salt, fresh basil, oregano and water. Mix to combine.
- Add the meatballs and gently mix to cover them in sauce. Cover the pan and cook on low/medium (more low than medium) heat for approximately 15- 20 minutes, uncover and continue to cook for another 15-20 minutes or until cooked through and the sauce has thickened. If you find the sauce thickening too much then add a little more water.
- Serve immediately as a main dish or over your favourite al dente pasta. Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy!

MY ITALIAN MEATBALLS
Restaurant quality meatballs in your home. These mouthwatering meatballs serve 10-15 people. I used to make these when I was younger, then life got in the way and frozen meatballs got better so this recipe fell by the wayside. I am retired now and cooking has once more become an artful expression. I hope your family enjoys...

Steps:
- 1. Place your sauce in a large pot and warm to simmer.. You can use any Italian pasta sauce. I make my own, but that's a different recipe.
- 2. Put all the meatball ingredients in a bowl. Wash your hands.
- 3. Use your hands to combine all ingredients. This will take a little time. If your hands become cold, run them under warm(not hot) water. When they warm up resume mixing.
- 4. To make the meatballs, roll the meat between the palms of your hands until it forms a smooth, round ball.
- 5. Drop them carefully into the simmering sauce and cook for at least an hour. I cook them all afternoon at just barely a simmer. You will notice fat rising to the top of the sauce, skim this off before serving.
- 6. You can make these any size. This will make about 30-35 2 inch meatballs.
- 7. Ladle sauce and meatballs over spaghetti. An oil and vinegar salad, crusty bread and good chianti will round off this old word recipe.

MY ITALIAN MEATBALLS
I have played around with different recipes and always seem to end up with these. They come out moist and hold their shape. I bake them in the oven which is easier for clean up and I can drain the fat out of them easier.

- In a small bowl soak the bread in the milk for about 5 minutes, then squeeze out moisture and crumple into small bits.
- In a medium bowl combine the bread with ground beef, eggs, parmesan and spices gently mix to combine well (I use my clean hands, its the best way to do it). Form into small balls ( I form the meatballs into the size of a golf ball). In a medium frying pan on medium heat, add the olive oil and the meatballs, brown them on all sides.
- While meatballs are browning, in a separate, large deep pan add the olive oil, the tomato puree (or peeled tomatoes), spices and water, stir until well combined. Add the browned meatballs. Over medium heat, heat to boiling, then lower heat to medium low and simmer for approximately 20 minutes (covered), then raise the heat to medium, (leave pan slightly uncovered 1/3 uncovered) and cook an additional 20 minutes, until sauce has thickened and meatballs are cooked through. Serve immediately, top with freshly grated parmesan cheese if desired. Don't forget some crusty Italian bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Enjoy!
