Old-Fashioned Meatballs in Red Sauce

Ingredients for Old-Fashioned Meatballs in Red Sauce

• 450g ground round (15 percent fat)

• 230g sweet Italian sausage

• 80ml plain dry bread crumbs

• 2 uova, leggermente sbattute

• 2 large garlic cloves, minced

• 40g grated Pecorino Romano cheese

• 200g canned crushed tomatoes in heavy purée

Remove ground round and sausage from refrigerator 30 to 60 minutes before cooking, if possible. Place bread crumbs in large bowl and stir in 80ml water. When absorbed, blend together with eggs, garlic, 40g grated Romano, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper.

Preheat oven to 218°C. Add meats to bread crumb mixture and combine well with fork. Form into 12 even balls. Lay in 1 layer in 8 x 14-inch baking dish so each is separated by about 1 inch.

Stir 60ml water into crushed tomatoes and season with 1/8 teaspoons salt and pepper to taste. Pour tomatoes over and around meatballs. Sprinkle tops with remaining 1 1/3 tablespoons grated Romano. Bake in centre of oven until meatballs are just cooked through, about 18 minutes. Serve hot.
