Steps
As my mother always says, “set your oven to 350F!”
In a bowl, combine beef, pork, and breadcrumbs while jamming to Andrea Bocelli
Startle the beast by hastily seasoning it with salt and pepper to taste, then sensually toss together
Form small balls of your desired size and pierce balls one-by-one with your thumb or your largest finger to insert a cute lil’ cube of cheese
Round each ball, ensuring you have an even amount of meat on all sides
In a hot pan, drizzle with oil and brown balls well on all sides
Transfer meatballs to an ovenproof dish, and cook for approximately 9 minutes
Meanwhile, pour olive oil into saucepan and sweat shallots and garlic
Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian herbs, salt and pepper and cook over medium-heat for 10 minutes
Using your mixing arm, mix well until the sauce looks like sauce
Take the balls out of the oven, add them to the sauce, and combine well like they’re at an Italian wedding. Throw on some parmesan and parsley to complete the union!
