Provided by JMS2013

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 small loaf stale Italian bread, torn into 21/2-in chunks
1/2 lb. 80% lean ground beef
1/2 lb. ground veal
21/2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Kosher salt and pepper
4-5 cups your favorite marinara sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Soak bread in warm water to cover for 5 minutes. Squeeze chunks gently to remove excess water. Place in a large bowl. Add beef, veal, garlic, parsley, egg and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Knead mixture with hands for a full 5 minutes until combined. Shape a heaping tbsp. of meat into a ball. Repeat. 2. Fill a 10-inch skillet halfway with canola oil and cook over high heat. Gently slide 8 to 10 meatballs at a time into skillet. Reduce heat to medium and fry, turning once, about 6 to 7 minutes on each side. Using a slotted spoon, transfer meatballs to a bowl. Heat meatballs in sauce for 20 minutes. Serve with spaghetti.

Donatella Arpaia's meatballs are the best! I've made them several times and they're always a hit. The meatballs are moist and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and delicious. I highly recommend this recipe.

These meatballs are a great appetizer or main course. They're easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I love serving them with spaghetti and meatballs or in a meatball sub.

Meh. These meatballs were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either. I probably won't make them again.

These meatballs are easy to make and taste great! I love that I can use ground turkey instead of beef, which makes them a healthier option. I will definitely be making these again.

Not a fan of these meatballs. They were a bit dry and the flavor was bland. I won't be making them again.

I've tried many meatball recipes, but this one is by far the best! The meatballs are moist and tender, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. I love that I can make them ahead of time and they reheat well.
