Meatballs in white sauce is a simple and delicious main course, prepared quickly, and perfect for any occasion. Pan-cooked meatballs in white sauce are also very popular with children and are an alternative to classic meatballs in tomato sauce. You can also prepare the meatballs in white sauce in advance and then reheat them when it’s time to serve, making them perfect if you have guests for dinner and want to get ahead with the dishes, or if you’re planning dinner and have a super busy afternoon ahead and want dinner ready when you get back. These meatballs have a melting heart of mozzarella, making them even tastier and softer while using only beef, making them much leaner and lighter than pork or mixed meat.

How to Make Meatballs in White Sauce

Let’s start preparing the Meatballs in White Sauce, cut the mozzarella for pizza into cubes and boil a potato.
In a bowl, pour the ground beef, slightly mash it with a fork, and add the egg,
a pinch of salt,
some chopped parsley,
mix all the ingredients well and add the boiled, mashed potato
and a tablespoon of breadcrumbs, mix well until you get a homogeneous mixture.
With your hands, take a handful of meat, flatten it, and place a cube of mozzarella in the center, form a meatball about the size of an apricot, continue like this until you finish the ground beef,
then roll them in flour.
Pour some extra virgin olive oil into a pan, with the garlic clove and rosemary, let it flavor for a few minutes and
add the meatballs, turn them often to brown them and form a golden crust,
when they are browned, deglaze with white wine and let the alcohol evaporate completely,
when the alcohol has evaporated, add the vegetable broth and cook with the lid on for 15/20 minutes, the cooking time may vary depending on the size of the meatballs.
When the Meatballs in White Sauce are cooked, serve them hot accompanied by the cooking sauce.
