Instructions

Step 1

Mix the tomato purée, olive oil and salt together in a large skillet. In a bowl mix the cheese with the bread cubes, then add the ground beef, eggs, salt and pepper. Take 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce from the skillet and add that to the meat mixture. Start simmering the sauce while you make the meatballs. Smush (that's a cooking term right?) the meat together using your hands to form into 12 balls the size of large plums. Place in the sauce, spooning some over top. Simmer on low heat for 30-40 minutes until the internal temperature reads 160°F.
