Ingredients
- 1/4 cup dry bread crumb
- 1/4 cup milk
- 11/2 lb mixed ground beef, pork and veal
- 1/2 small onion, minced
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tsp minced oregano
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 31/2 cup marinara sauce
- cooked spaghetti, for serving
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Directions
- In a small bowl, soak the bread crumbs in the milk. In a large bowl, mix the ground meat with the soaked bread crumbs, the onion, garlic, parsley, oregano, egg, salt and pepper.
- Form the meat mixture into 4 large balls. In a deep nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the meat balls and cook over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, until browned all over, about 7 minutes. Add the marinara sauce to the skillet; cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through. Serve over cooked spaghetti.
