Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup olive oil
1 cup minced onion
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound pork
1/2 pound veal
1 large egg -- lightly beaten
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
2 large cloves of garlic -- peeled and minced
Salt and pepper
5 -6 cups marinara sauce (see above recipe)


In a small bowl combine the bread crumbs and milk and let soak for
10 minutes. In a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil
and cook onion for 3 minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a large bowl combine ground meats, soaked bread crumbs,
cooked onion, egg, Parmesan, parsley, garlic and salt and
pepper and mix well. Shape mixture into 1 1/2-inch diameter
balls and set on a plate.
In the same large skillet heat 2 more tablespoons of olive
oil and cook the meatballs in 3-4 batches until browned on
all sides, about 10 minutes. When meatballs are browned,
transfer them to a side plate, add more oil if necessary and
continue to cook remaining meatballs. Add the browned
meatballs to the simmering marinara sauce and heat for
10-15 minutes. Serve meatballs and sauce with cooked
spaghetti or pasta of choice.
