How to Make Meatballs In Tomato Sauce
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 lb ground pork, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into 12-15 meatballs (about 1.5 inches in diameter).
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup dry red wine, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, and 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary.
- Bring to a simmer, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove from oven, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot. Garnish with extra fresh basil, if desired.
