Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound ground pork
1 pound ground beef (85 percent lean)
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup finely grated pecorino
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 large eggs
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes, pureed
4 leaves fresh basil (optional)
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Using your hands, gently mix together pork, beef, breadcrumbs, pecorino, salt, eggs, garlic, and parsley in a large bowl. Form mixture into 2-inch balls.
  • Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs; cook, turning, until browned all over, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and pepper flakes; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender, about 4 minutes. Add tomatoes and basil; simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Return meatballs and any juices to pan. Simmer, turning meatballs once, until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • Heat broiler. Arrange mozzarella on top of meatballs. Broil until melted, 2 to 3 minutes; serve.

The meatballs were a little bland, but the sauce was delicious. I would probably add some more spices to the meatballs next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover meatballs. I also like to add some chopped vegetables to the sauce, such as onions, peppers, and mushrooms.
