Steps:
- Soak the bread in the milk. While the bread is soaking, chop the garlic very finely and put it in a bowl.
- Add meat, egg, soaked bread, chopped parsley, and a little salt. Mix everything until it is well integrated.
- Take portions of the mixture and give them a round shape. Coat them in flour and fry them in a pan with plenty of hot oil. When they get golden brown on all sides, take them out and set them aside on a plate with kitchen paper to remove the excess oil.
- Now chop the onions, carrots, and garlic very finely. Sauté everything in a saucepan with a dash of oil and fry it for about 5 minutes. Season, add the spoon of flour, and stir it until it dissolves.
- Pour in the wine, the tomato sauce, and a cup of water or broth. Let it cook for about 25 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally so that the flour doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.
- As soon as the sauce is made, pass it through a blender or mixer. Finally, pour the sauce into the casserole, add the meatballs and let it cook all together for approximately 10 minutes.
