How to make it

  • Soak the Italian bread in broth until completely soaked.Take the Bread and squeeze out as much broth as possible.Save the broth for later.
  • Mix the ricotta cheese, 1/2 Lb of the grated cheese, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese grated, 2 eggs and 1 cup of parsley.Put on the side and save.
  • Mix all meats in a separate bowl.In another bowl add about 1/2 Lb of grated cheese, 3 eggs, the remaining parsley, 1 head of finely chopped garlic, and the squeezed dried Italian bread and mix.Combine the meat, garlic, grated cheese, parsley, bread and egg mixture and mix. Try not to over mix because it will cause the meatballs to be hard.
  • Take 1/2 of the meat and brown it in a large heavy pot or dutch oven.Save the other 1/2 for meatballs.After the meat is browned remove and save for later.
  • Put your tomato paste into the pot and saute until it starts to loosen and bubble. Add a little salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.Then deglaze with the wine until the wine evaporates then add your tomatoes.When it comes to a boil lower the heat and bring to a simmer.
