Polpette al sugo (Meatballs in sauce)
There’s something magical about the way Mama makes her meatballs. Each one is hand-rolled with care, combining the perfect blend of ground meat, breadcrumbs, wine, fresh parsley, garlic, and a touch of grated cheese.

Mama says it’s not just about feeding the stomach but the soul. And with every bite, you can taste the care and heritage that make these meatballs a true family treasure

STEP 1
Mix: Combine all ingredients (except avocado oil) in a large bowl. Mix gently to keep meatballs tender.
STEP 2
Shape: Form into 3-ounce meatballs and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

STEP 3
Sear: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear meatballs on all sides until golden, 1–2 minutes per side.

STEP 4
Simmer: Transfer meatballs to simmering marinara sauce. Cover and cook on low-medium heat for 20 minutes.

STEP 5
Serve with pasta, crusty bread, or enjoy on their own. Garnish with Parmesan and parsley!
