Meatballs
Difficulty: Easy
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Place the beef, pork and veal in a large bowl. Gently break apart the meat and set the bowl aside
- In a second bowl, combine the milk, eggs, ricotta and bread in a bowl and mix well to incorporate the milk into the bread. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes so the milk can soak into the bread
- Add salt, pepper, parsley, and cheese to bread mixture and mix until well incorporated
- Gradually add the meat to bread mixture and gently mix by hand until thoroughly combined
- Refrigerate the meat mixture for ½ hour then begin to form the mixture into 8 oz. meatballs
- Fry the meatballs in a pan with olive oil until golden brown on all sides and then place in the oven until they reach 145 degrees internally
- Remove from the oven, cover with sauce and serve
