Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients
– Ground veal – 1 lb
– Breadcrumbs – ½ cup
– Egg – 1 large
– Garlic – 2 cloves, minced
– Fresh parsley – ¼ cup, chopped
– Salt – 1 tsp
– Black pepper – ½ tsp
– Olive oil – 2 tbsp
– Onion – 1 medium, diced
– Marsala wine – ¾ cup
– Crushed tomatoes – 28 oz can
– Chicken broth – 1 cup
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine ground veal, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined—overmixing makes tough meatballs.
3. Form mixture into 1½-inch meatballs, placing them on the prepared baking sheet. You should get about 16 meatballs.
4. Bake meatballs for 15 minutes at 400°F until lightly browned and firm to the touch.
5. While meatballs bake, heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 5–7 minutes until translucent and soft.
6. Pour Marsala wine into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom—this adds deep flavor to your sauce. Simmer for 3 minutes until reduced by half.
7. Add crushed tomatoes and chicken broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
8. Transfer baked meatballs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
9. Check sauce consistency after 20 minutes; if too thin, simmer uncovered for 5 more minutes to thicken. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
Grab a fork—these meatballs are tender with a hint of sweetness from the Marsala, balanced by the tangy tomato sauce. Serve over creamy polenta or twirl with thick pasta like pappardelle. Leftovers taste even better the next day as the flavors meld together.
