ITALIAN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• 1. To make the tomato sauce, heat the olive oil in a 2.5 litre flameproof casserole. Add the garlic and onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Add the tomato, white wine, tomato paste, sugar, basil, parsley, lemon rind and ½ cup (125 ml) water. Simmer for 45 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the lemon rind from the casserole. 2. To make the meatballs, soak the bread in a small bowl of milk. Leave for 5 minutes to soften the bread, then squeeze out any excess liquid with your hands. Put the bread in a large mixing bowl with the mince, garlic, onion, parsley, lemon rind, egg, Parmesan and nutmeg. Season well with salt and black pepper. Mix together with your hands until all of the ingredients are thoroughly combined. 3. Form 2 tablespoons of the mixture into balls using wet hands (you will have about 16 balls). Roll the meatballs lightly in the plain flour to coat. Place 1 cm depth of oil in a large heavy-based frying pan over moderate heat. Cook the meatballs in batches for 2-3 minutes on all sides, or until golden brown. Add the meatballs to the tomato sauce and stir to coat. Simmer, covered, over low heat for 30 minutes. Sprinkle on the parsley and serve with pasta. Top with freshly grated Parmesan.

ITALIAN MEATBALLS WITH RED SAUCE AND ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Place the marinara in a large, wide stew pot over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, reduce heat to low, and then cover with a lid.
• In a large cast iron or nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and red chili flakes, and cook until translucent, 2-3 minutes.
• Add the tomato paste and whisk to combine. Cook for an additional minute, then transfer to a small plate to cool to room temperature.
• Add the ground beef, cooled onion mixture, breadcrumbs, parsley, eggs, 1/4 cup Pecorino, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper to a large mixing bowl. Gently fold together. Using about 2 tablespoons as your size guideline, form the mixture into 20-24 equally-sized meatballs.
• In the same pan used to cook the onions, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add as many meatballs as you can without crowding the pan. Working in batches, sear the tops and bottoms until a golden-brown crust forms, 30-45 seconds per side. Add more oil to the pan for each batch as needed.
• Place the browned meatballs in the marinara and cover with the sauce so they are completely immersed. Cover the pot and simmer over low heat until the meatballs are cooked through, 25-30 minutes.
• While the meatballs are simmering, preheat the oven to 425°F.
• On two large baking sheets, toss zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, and red onion with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and season with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Place in the oven and roast, tossing once halfway through, until lightly charred and tender, about 15 minutes.
• Divide the roasted vegetables among four dishes and top with equal portions of the meatballs and marinara. Garnish with the remaining Pecorino and serve immediately.

AUTHENTIC ITALIAN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a large bowl by hand.
• Use your bare hands for best results.
• Roll meatballs to about the size of a golf ball. (wet your hands to prevent the meat from sticking to them while rolling the meat balls).
• Drop raw meatballs into large (I use a stock pot) pot of sauce.
• (I have an incredible sauce recipe {#92096} I use for my meatballs).
• Simmer for about 3 hours.

ITALIAN BAKED MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Put the onions and 2 tbsp oil in your biggest frying pan, and fry gently until softened. Add the garlic, then increase the heat and fry for a few minutes. Scoop half the softened onions from the pan into a large mixing bowl.
• Add the bay leaves, tomatoes, passata, purée, brown sugar and red wine vinegar to the frying pan, and bring to a simmer. Bubble for 20 minutes until the sauce has reduced and thickened, and the surface is glistening. Season.
• When the reserved onions have cooled, add the beef mince, breadcrumbs, fennel seeds, oregano and egg with plenty of seasoning. Mix everything with your hands really well, then shape into 20 meatballs. Heat 1tbsp oil in a non-stick frying pan and brown the meatballs in batches, adding more oil as you need - the meatballs should be almost cooked through. Cool. Mix 200g of the grated mozzarella with the mascarpone and a little salt.
• When everything has cooled to room temperature, combine the meatballs and tomato sauce in a big baking dish. Blob over the cheesy mascarpone, and scatter over the remaining mozzarella. Freeze now.
• Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Cover the dish tightly with an extra layer of foil and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for a further 30-45 minutes, until the meatballs are piping hot and cooked through, and the cheesy top is golden and bubbling. Let the dish cool for 5 minutes, then add a drizzle of olive oil and a scatter of fresh oregano, if you like, before spooning straight from the dish. Serve with crusty bread, pasta or rice.
• *Freezing notes: Open-freeze in the baking dish until solid, but don't leave it for too long, then cover with a layer of foil, then clingfilm to keep airtight (use clingfilm on its own and you risk taking off the cheesy topping when you remove it), or freeze in individual baking dishes in the same way. The day before you want to bake them, transfer the frozen dish to the fridge. When defrosted, finish the dish as above.

AUTHENTIC ITALIAN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Grind together shallot, parsley, breadcrumbs, and parmesan.
• Place them in a bowl, add meat, egg, salt, and pepper and knead with your hands.
• Shape meatballs, trying to keep the same size for each one - to have the same cooking time.
• In a large frying pan heat the olive oil and cook meatballs over medium heat, turning them often, but gently. They are ready when you see a tasty, crispy crust.
• Serve your authentic Italian meatballs recipe hot.

ITALIAN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Cut the crusts from the Bread (4 slice).
• Put the white parts, whole, into the bowl of water.
• Fill the medium size pot with water, dropping the chopped White Potato (3) inside. Place it on the stove and leave it to boil at medium heat.
• Once this begins boiling, leave it to cook for 10 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes into a colander, getting rid of any excess water, and leave them to the side. If they are ready well ahead of time, rinse them under cold water for a couple of minutes to stop the cooking process any further.
• Put one of the pans onto the stove at medium heat and drizzle Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (as needed)onto it.
• Chop up Carrot (1) and Onion (1/2) and Celery (1 stalk).
• Add onion, celery and carrot and stir fry until they begin to turn lightly golden, stirring them regularly.
• Once they begin to color, after approximately 5 minutes, add the Tomato (29 ounce) one can at a time.
• Stir this through well, letting it cook for another 5 minutes then turn the heat down to low and add half of the Fresh Parsley (1/2 bunch).
• Stir the parsley into the mixture then cover it. Return to stir every so often so all the flavors infuse into the sauce.
• Put the Pork and Veal Mix (600 gram) into a bowl and using a fork, press down on the meat with the bottom of it, turning it over and repeating.
• Crack the Large Egg (4) into the mixture, beat them well, and mix them into the meat.
• Chop the Garlic (2 clove) really fine, and chop up the remaining Fresh Parsley (1/2 bunch) before adding to the mince.
• Add to the pork mince.
• Add Breadcrumbs (4 tablespoon) and mix well.
• Grate 150 grams of the block of Parmesan Cheese (1) on top.
• Squeeze all of the excess water out of the pieces of bread.
• Then break each one into small pieces and add it to your meatballs mix too.
• Sprinkle some Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) over the top and mix everything together with a fork.
• Now it's time to assemble! Get a palm-full of ingredients (or less, depending on the size you want to make) and roll them into a ball. Make as many meatballs as you can using all of your mixtures.
• By now, your potatoes should be cooked and you can remove the lid from the sauce and add them in. Carefully stir them through and put the lid on again.
• Add Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (to taste) to another non-stick pan and put it on the stove turned on to low heat. Place each individual meatball in the pan and after 1-2 minutes, using a fork, gently nudge each one to make sure it is not sticking to the pan.
• A minute or so later, check that the bottom of the first meatball you dropped in has started to brown. If it has, turn it over (along with all the others) so the other side begins to cook too.
• Once all of the meatballs are brown on both sides, gently lift each one up and put it into the pan with sauce. Keep cooking them on a low heat and instead of mixing the meatballs which you might break, lift up the pan and gently swirl it around. Cook for around 5-6 minutes.
• Then gently turn each one and let them simmer for another 10 minutes.
• Scoop out at least 3 Italian meatballs per sere and simply sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top. Enjoy them with some warm crusty bread on the side...and make sure you have seconds!

HOMEMADE ITALIAN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Place ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
• Then, use a large wooden spoon or your hands to thoroughly mix, combining all ingredients. I recommend using your hands as it's faster and easier.
• Once combined, heat olive oil in a large skillet or cast iron over medium heat.
• Use a standard-size cookie scoop to scoop meat into your hands. Then, form into a ball and place on the skillet. Repeat until there is no meat left. You should get around 16 medium-size meatballs.
• Brown meatballs on all sides for around 8 minutes. Use a pair of tongs to flip each meatball, being careful not to burn the outsides.
• Once all sides are brown, pour in marinara sauce and red wine. Toss so that the meatballs are covered in sauce.
• Lower heat to low and cover. Let simmer for about 20 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes.
• While the meatballs are simmering, prepare your spaghetti of choice by following the directions on your package.
• Once your noodles are cooked, strain and serve with meatballs and sauce. Top with a generous amount of parmesan cheese and fresh ground pepper.

• Place the remaining 1/4 cup of bread crumbs into a small bowl. Using a scale, weigh meatballs into 1.5-ounce portions and place on a sheet pan. Using your hands, shape the meatballs into rounds, roll in the bread crumbs and place the meatballs in individual, miniature muffin tin cups. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

ROASTED ITALIAN MEATBALLS

Steps:

Add the bread crumbs, Pecorino, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Add the eggs, wine, and 3/4 cup water and combine lightly but thoroughly.
• Measure out 2-ounce portions of the mixture (I use a rounded 1 3/4-inch ice cream scoop) and roll each lightly into a ball. Place one inch apart on the prepared sheet pans. Brush the meatballs with the olive oil.
• Bake the meatballs for 25 to 30 minutes, until lightly browned. Pour the marinara into a large pot and bring to a simmer. Carefully add the meatballs and simmer for 10 minutes, until heated through.
• To serve with polenta, spoon a puddle of creamy Parmesan polenta on one side of each dinner plate. Spoon 1 or 2 meatballs plus a puddle of tomato sauce on the other side, allowing them to combine in the center of the plate. To serve with spaghetti, distribute among shallow pasta bowls. Spoon the meatballs and sauce onto the pasta. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan and serve hot.
• Place the chicken stock in a large saucepan. Add the garlic and cook over medium-high heat until the stock comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and very slowly whisk in the cornmeal, whisking constantly to make sure there are no lumps. Switch to a wooden spoon, add the salt and pepper, and simmer, stirring almost constantly, for 10 minutes, until thick. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan thoroughly while you're stirring. Off the heat, stir in the Parmesan, creme fraiche, and butter. Taste for seasonings and serve hot with extra Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top.

• To steam, half fill a pan with water and put it on the hob to boil.
• Cover with a plate roughly the same size as the pan, or just a little larger, and put half the olive oil and the water on the plate.
• When the water begins to boil, turn down the heat to medium, so the water is gently simmering.
• Place the meatballs on the plate on top of the pan and cover with an upturned plate, or ideally, a glass bowl so that you can see through it.
• Leave it to steam for 30 minutes, turning the meatballs over halfway through.
• When the meatballs are cooked through, remove from the plate and pour the cooking liquour into a pan.

• Return all the meatballs to the skillet, then carefully add the canned tomatoes and 3/4 cup (200 ml) water. Be cautious: the skillet will be hot and might spit.
• Cover and simmer until the meatballs are cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and the flavors have melded, 20 to 25 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, if needed.☞TESTER TIP: If you prefer a spicy sauce, season with some red pepper flakes.
• While the meatballs are cooking, cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water according to the package instructions.
