Easy Meatballs in Tomato Sauce

Today, let’s make simple and tasty meatballs in tomato sauce. This recipe is perfect for beginners and delivers a classic comfort food that's delicious and filling.

Ingredients:

• 500g ground beef or pork (buy pre-ground or grind your own)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt, pepper, and any herbs you like (such as parsley or basil)
• 2 cups tomato sauce or canned crushed tomatoes

Instructions:

1. Make the Meatballs: In a large bowl, mix the ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Form small balls with your hands, about the size of a walnut.

2. Cook the Meatballs: In a large pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, but don’t worry about cooking them through entirely—they’ll finish cooking in the sauce.

3. Add the Tomato Sauce: Once the meatballs are browned, add the tomato sauce to the pan. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally, and add salt, pepper, or a pinch of sugar if needed.

4. Serve: Enjoy over pasta, rice, or with bread!
