We recently posted Carmine’s Meatballs. After reading some consistent comments, many prefer cooking the meatballs raw in the sauce and add some pork to mix. So we tried it. These are very good, very tender. However, I think browning the meatballs first has the edge. Recipe below MEATBALLS -2lbs Ground Beef 80/20 -1lb Ground Pork -1lb Ground Veal -4 Large Eggs -1/2C Seasoned Bread Crumbs -6T Chopped Flat Leaf Parsley -4T Chopped Fresh Basil -2T Kosher Salt -3 Cloves Garlic, minced -1tsp Black Pepper -4 Slices firm white bread -1/2C or so of Milk -2C Romano Cheese, finely grated -2-4tsp Olive Oil *Large bowl, add beef, pork, veal, eggs, mix well then add bread crumbs, parsley, basil, salt, garlic and pepper, mix well *Separate bowl, tear bread apart, remove crust, add milk and let sit about 5 minutes, add to meat mix *Add cheese, mix well.

If you’ve never heard of sugo… this is your time. NONNA’s SUGO (8-10ppl) Ingredients: 500g lean ground beef 500g ground pork 250g pancetta, diced Extra virgin olive oil + butter 2 onions, finely diced 2 garlic cloves, finely grated 1 can tomato paste 2 jars passata (700ml each) 200ml red or white wine 500ml water or broth Salt + pepper (be generous with both) 1 Parmigiano rind if you have one 900g Dry Pappardelle Lots of freshly grated Parmigiano to finish Preparation: 1. Sauté ground meat in 2tbsp olive oil on high heat until all the liquid evaporates and the meat turns deep dark brown — not grey, dark brown. Nonna calls this “BRUSTOLARE”. Remove and set aside. 2. Add olive oil and butter to coat the same pan. Add pancetta with a pinch of salt and cook until it gets crispy. Do not drain the fat. 3. Add onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook low and slow until completely translucent. Add garlic and cook 2 more minutes. 4. Add and “CARAMELIZE” the tomato paste until it darkens from bright red to deep dark red. 5. Return the meat to the pan. Add wine and scrape every bit of flavour from the bottom of the pan. Let it reduce by more than half. 6. Add passata and Parmigiano rind. Bring to a gentle simmer then cook 2-3 hours (with lid half on) adding water/broth intermittently to maintain consistency. The longer the better. Taste and add salt here if needed. 7. Cook pasta to al dente, strain and add directly to the sugo. Cook together on low for 1-2 minutes so the pasta absorbs the sauce. Don’t plate and pour… Nonna’s rule. 8. Add freshly grated Parmigiano. More than you think. Then a little more. 9. Now mangia Shtu 🙋🏼‍♂️👵 #sugo #ragu #nonnaenipote #cookingwithnonna #sundaysauce

Today I’m tackling the most common questions about my Sunday sauce and meatballs! 🍝 As I roll these beauties, let me share the secrets that make them special. ✨ First up, do my meatballs fall apart? Absolutely not! I use 85-15 ground sirloin beef, which keeps them together without making the sauce greasy. That’s why they hold their shape! Now, let’s talk ingredients. Some wonder why I use a half cup of granulated onion powder in two pounds of meat. It may sound like a lot, but it enhances the flavor beautifully! For the sausage, I always use sweet Italian sausage, cutting them in half—not whole! When it comes to pork, I prefer country ribs, but thick pork chops work just fine if you can’t find them. 🌟 And for basil, I hand tear it to preserve its oils and flavor. As I roll my meatballs, I wet my palms every third one to keep them firm. I also use flat Italian parsley—the curly variety is for other recipes. And let’s not forget the wine! You don’t need an expensive bottle; a decent cabernet works great for cooking. 🍷 When cooking, I use my biggest pot to give the meatballs space in that bubbling sauce. Always stir gently with a wooden spoon so they don’t break apart! 🍽️ Here’s the meatball recipe you need: DOWNLOAD MY FREE MEATBALL RECIPE PDF (Top Of Bio Page) 🧑‍🍳 Meatball Ingredients: 2 lbs ground beef (85/15) 1 cup seasoned Italian breadcrumbs 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped 1/2 cup grated Locatelli Pecorino Romano cheese Salt and pepper to taste 3 cloves garlic, chopped 1/4 cup onion powder 2 tbsp garlic powder 2 eggs Preparation: In a bowl, mix all ingredients gently. Wet your hands and roll meatballs into equal sizes (about 25-30). Place meatballs into the simmering sauce and cook for 60-90 minutes. These meatballs are ready to soak up that amazing sauce! 🍅 I’m thrilled to share this with you, and if you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask! From my heart to your meatball plate, let’s make cooking a joy! ❤️ #SundaySauce #meatballs #ItalianCooking #FamilyTradition #antoinettesitaliankitchen
