Guaranteed to be moist and not fall apart, these meatballs are perfect for spaghetti.
Ingredients
Directions
- Toss the breadcrumbs into a small bowl and pour the milk over them. Stir to combine then set aside the mixture until the crumbs have absorbed all the milk.
- Place the ground beef into a large bowl and add the onion, minced garlic, egg yolk and parmesan.
- Add the breadcrumb mixture, nutmeg and parsley. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and mix well. Form into 8 large meatballs.
- Pre-heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When it’s hot add a splash of olive oil, enough to cover the bottom. Add the meatballs. Patiently sear them until they are well browned on all sides. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add the tomato sauce and simmer until the meatballs have cooked through about 15-20 minutes.
- Cook the spaghetti in lots of boiling salted water, drain without rinsing and serve with the meatballs.
- Note: add more of an ingredient you like or less of something you don't.
