Notes

Your New Meatball and Sauce Recipe is a hearty and delicious creation! 

Meatballs

These tender, flavorful meatballs combine the richness of ground beef and the succulent juiciness of Italian pork sausages. The perfect blend of spices and seasonings elevates their savory taste, while breadcrumbs and Parmesan Cheese gives them structure. Whether pan-fried or oven-baked, they are golden on the outside and juicy on the inside—a true comfort food classic.

Sauce

The sauce is a luxurious, chunky delight made from the finest San Marzano whole tomatoes. Their natural sweetness and vibrant acidity create the perfect base.
By hand you carefully break them down to maintain a hearty, rustic texture, allowing each chunk to absorb the flavors of the aromatics and spices simmered into the sauce. This results in a thick, rich, and irresistible coating for the meatballs that’s perfect over pasta, polenta, or crusty bread!
