Preparation

55 min
  1. Prepare the sauce:
  2. In a saucepan, heat the olive oil and add the chopped onions.
  3. Cook them over low heat until they become translucent.
  4. Add the chopped garlic at the end, just long enough for it to brown very lightly without burning.
  5. Put the tomatoes in the saucepan and turn the heat to medium or high.
  6. Let simmer for 20 minutes, adding the basil, salt and pepper.
  7. Lower the heat, stirring, to reduce the sauce.
  8. Set aside.
  9. Mix the ingredients with your fingers and form medium-sized balls by rolling them between your palms.
  10. Heat a little fat in a frying pan and cook the meatballs over medium heat, turning them regularly. Be careful, the heat should not be too high.
  11. Serve with pasta and the tomato sauce.
