CHEF JOHN'S ITALIAN MEATBALLS
Homemade meatballs are a very easy to make, and since we skip the very messy step of pan-frying these before they hit the sauce, it becomes downright simple. Here I use a standard half-beef/half-pork mixture. You can substitute water or beef broth for the milk, if preferred.

AUTHENTIC ITALIAN MEATBALLS
Meatball recipes are often challenged by chefs who claim, "Mine are the best!" Even though my meatballs ARE the best, I will make no such claim. Try them for yourself! This meatball recipe was given to me by my father who got it from a little old lady from Italy that he knew. It's amazing that she gave up her recipe to him, but I sure am glad she did!

MY ITALIAN MEATBALLS
I have played around with different recipes and always seem to end up with these. They come out moist and hold their shape. I bake them in the oven which is easier for clean up and I can drain the fat out of them easier.

MY ITALIAN MEATBALLS AND SAUCE
Don't be afraid of the amount of eggs and water. These meatballs are really tender. I drop them directly into the hot sauce and cook them that way. The small amount of fat in the meat flavors the sauce, and you don't have to fry them beforehand. Saves time and fat and that's a Great Thing! Add a little crushed red pepper if you want your sauce to have a little more zip. The sauce is actually better the second day.

Steps:
- Heat 1 Tablespoon oil in Dutch oven.
- Add 1/4 cup onions and saute until soft but not brown.
- Add both cans of tomato products and get the sauce hot and simmering, not boiling because you don't want to scorch it.
- In a large bowl, mix first 11 ingredients until blended. Over-mixing will toughen the meatballs.
- Shape into balls about 1 1/2 inches across.
- Drop them into the hot sauce, making sure they are covered. Don't stir too much because you don't want to break them up.
- Cover and simmer one hour.
- Serve over pasta of your choice (I like angel hair), garnish with some extra parmesan.
