CIAO BELLA POLPETTE (MEATBALLS)
It took me a while to actually post this recipe because I never had it written down. My Mom always did it by eye. So I finally made some and measured the ingredients. There is nothing worse than hard meatballs. This will prove to be a very moist meatball recipe. I promise they will be the most tender meatballs you have ever had! Enjoy!

Steps:
- Prepare a double recipe of Ciao Bella Salsa Pomodoro in a large stock pot. Allow to come to a simmer for 30 minutes.
- While sauce is simmering, in a small bowl tear white bread into small pieces and soak with milk until well saturated. Mash with a fork until bread is broken down.
- In a large bowl combine ground beef, bread with milk, parmesan cheese, eggs, grated onion, parsley, garlic and salt and pepper.
- Scoop one ladle full of sauce right into the meat mixture and mix well. This is what will make the meatballs tender.
- Shape into medium size meatballs using about 2-3 tablespoons of meat mixture. Drop into simmering sauce. Simmer far another 30-40 minutes until meatballs have cooked through and sauce is thickened.
- Serve over you favorite pasta or have wonderful meatball subs. We always seem to eat all the meatballs and have left over sauce. So I freeze any left over sauce.
