Sunday Meatballs

I made these meatballs a few weekends ago but haven't found the time to blog them.. since this is a post that demands some food respect! Meatballs have always been one of my favorite foods and for as long as I can remember my mom would make meatballs on sunday! So I have attempted to carry the tradition on. Meatballs aren't too hard to make at home but it's one food I will never order when we go out to dinner, since I am incredibly picky about them! 

I recently fell in love with a place where all they make is meatballs & pizza... Millies! and when rooms my husband ate my meatballs he literally said that they taste like Millies. I am not 100% sure about that statement but they are were pretty good so I hope you enjoy & make them at home! 

What You'll Need: 

(Meatballs) 

• 1 lb ground pork
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 large egg 
• 1/4 cup of parmigiano-reggiano
• 1/4 cup bread crumbs
• 3 cloves of garlic crushed 
• 2 tablespoons parsley 

(Sauce) 

• Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped 
• 1 large can crushed tomato 
• 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes 

What To Do: 

1. In a large bowl mix together all the meatball ingredients, gently combine ( honestly your hand are your best tools for this one) form into meatballs (this will make a a dozen large meatballs but you can totally make them smaller).
2. In a large pan add some EVOO and brown the meatballs in batches then remove to a paper plate. Use the same pan to make the sauce so you get all the meatball dripping goodness! 
3. Add another turn of EVOO into the pot then add in garlic and onions an cook for 5-10 minutes until tender. Add in crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and red pepper fakes, bring to a simmer. 
4. Place the meatballs into the sauce and cover cooking for 30 minutes then garnish each dish with parsley and some parmesan cheese and service up with some pasta!
