A delightful recipe for a hearty tomato sauce paired with tender egg-free meatballs, perfect for a comforting meal.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large dutch oven over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the onions to enhance their flavor.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for a minute to deepen its flavor.
Cooking the paste briefly enhances its sweetness.
Add the tomato puree, oregano, salt, and pepper, and bring to a simmer.
Adjust the seasoning to taste at this stage.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, pepper, milk, and breadcrumbs.
Mix gently to avoid compacting the meat, which can make the meatballs tough.
Shape the mixture into small balls and gently place them into the simmering sauce.
Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Cover and simmer the sauce and meatballs for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Ensure the meatballs are fully submerged in the sauce for even cooking.
Serve the sauce and meatballs over cooked spaghetti or your choice of pasta.
Garnish with additional grated parmesan and fresh parsley for a touch of elegance.
