These are a favorite at parties and gatherings. The recipe is easy, and the meatballs can be made well ahead of time and frozen until needed. I think what makes them taste so good is the sauce. -Nathalie Guest, Caledon, Ontario

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield about 25 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound ground beef chuck
1 pound ground pork
1 1/4 cups milk
3 eggs, lightly beaten
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup fresh basil
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
1/2 to 3/4 cup grated Romano cheese
Roasted Tomato Sauce, recipe follows
15 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
6 oil-packed anchovy fillets
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Two 28-ounce cans whole peeled tomatoes, with their juices
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the ground beef and ground pork in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • In a food processor, combine the milk, eggs, garlic, basil, parsley, cayenne and salt. Process until pureed.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the meat and mix to combine. Then add breadcrumbs and Romano, and gently combine; be careful not to overwork the meat.
  • With the help of an ice cream scoop (for even sizing), shape the mixture into 2-ounce meatballs and place on a baking sheet.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake the meatballs for 30 minutes.
  • Add the meatballs to the Roasted Tomato Sauce and simmer for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a deep lasagna pan, add the garlic, anchovies, olive oil, red pepper flakes and salt. Place the pan on the stovetop and saute for 5 to 7 minutes to soften. Remove from the heat and add the canned tomatoes and oregano; mix well.
  • Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the tomatoes are nicely charred on top, 45 minutes. Let cool, then blend to your liking with an immersion blender; we like our sauce a bit chunky, but feel free to puree if you choose.
