For the meatballs
500 grams of pork mince
500 grams of beef or veal mince
3 tablespoons of Pecorino cheese
2 eggs
1/4 cup of chopped continental parsley
1 cup of breadcrumbs
salt and pepper
For the sauce
Diced garlic (up to you how much)
2/3 of the bottle of Passata sauce
1 clove of garlic diced
some beef stock if the sauce becomes to thick
Method
Place all the meatball ingredients together in a bowl and mix really well. Roll into small balls, the size is up to what you prefer.
Put two tablespoons of olive oil in a large deep fry pan and fry the meatballs gently. Turning over so all sides are cooked.
Then add the diced garlic and 2/3 of the bottle of the Passata sauce on top of the meatballs. Place the lid on the fry pan and leave to simmer for thirty to forty minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
When serving grate fresh pecorino on top of the meatballs and sprinkle with more chopped continental parsley.
Serve with bread or pasta.
Bellisimo!!
