- 2 litres of your favourite tomato sauce
- 4 slices of soft white sliced bread (like Dempsters or Wonder Bread) with the crusts removed
- 1¾ cups of milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 2 lbs ground chuck
- ½ medium onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1½ tbs fresh basil diced
- 1½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1½ tbs chopped Italian parsley
- In a medium bowl, soak the bread in the milk for 15 minutes.
- Pour the egg yolks on the bread mixture and stir with a fork until you have a soup-like consistency.
- In a large bowl, add all remaining ingredients plus the bread mixture.
- With clean hands, mix well making sure all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer (medium heat) in a large soup pot.
- Pickup a portion of the meat mixture (roughly ½ pound) and form into a ball. Repeat until all the meat is used.
- Gently drop each meatball into the simmering tomato sauce and cover.
- Turn the meatballs over in the sauce every 10 minutes.
- Cook for a total of 40 minutes.
- Serve hot with your favourite pasta and enjoy!
This looks super tasty and reminds me of my vacation to Italy last year 😀
