Steps for preparing the meatballs

To prepare the delicious meat and bread meatballs, let’s start by getting a deep plate

Then let’s add the fresh bread crumbs and soak them in milk. Let them soften for a few minutes.
Then with a strainer, drain and squeeze them well with your hands. In the meantime, in a non-stick pan, add some extra virgin olive oil and sliced onion, or chopped, as you usually do, and fry lightly, then add the tomato sauce and salt. Cook for about 15-20 minutes with the lid on, and if it dries out, add a splash of water.
While the sauce cooks, in a bowl combine the ground veal, egg, well-squeezed bread crumbs, then salt, and finally Parmesan, and mix everything.
Now we are ready to form our meatballs. So, with the help of a fork, take 25 grams of the mixture and use your hands to form the meatballs.
Finally, place them in the ready sauce and cook, turning once on each side, for 10 minutes.
Once cooked, serve on a serving plate and … enjoy your tasting!
