Steps
First, prepare a simple sauce. In the pan, put a drizzle of oil and the chopped onion, let it brown a little and add the sauce and a little salt. Cook for about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the meatballs. In a container, put the ground meat, egg, parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper (optional).
Mix all the ingredients well. At this point, form the meatballs, taking an amount of meat that you desire based on the size you want to give, mine are 1.76 oz each.
After preparing all the meatballs, start placing them in the sauce one at a time, (try to use a wide pan to avoid overlapping the meatballs).
When you have finished adding the meatballs, move the pan slowly in circular movements. Cover with a lid, lower the heat, and cook for about 25 minutes. Do not turn them with utensils until they are well set.
Storage
You can store the meatballs in sauce in the refrigerator for 2 days. If you prefer, you can prepare the meatballs a day in advance to cook them later.
