How to make perfect meatballs with sauce? Our recommendations

We essentially have 3 cornerstones in the preparation of meatballs, to have them tasty, compact and perfect before and after cooking.

– The texture . We have already said it, but it seems appropriate to repeat it: the dough must be slightly moist, but not sticky. You can see this when you form the balls, if the dough sticks to your hands we recommend adding breadcrumbs, otherwise they could open in the pan.

– The ingredients . Another tip to avoid opening during cooking is the choice of ingredients: the egg, which comes as a binder, must never be missing. We also recommend opting for a fine grind in order to have a smooth final compound without air holes.

– A little help . If you want to be sure you have a toasted and crunchy crust, and if you are afraid that the mixture is still slightly too wet, roll the meatballs in flour before dipping them in the pan.

storage

We recommend keeping them in the fridge for a maximum of 3 days , in a special container with a lid. You can also freeze the meatballs, without the sauce, so that they will keep for up to 2-3 months . Remember to thaw them slowly in the fridge before moving on to cooking and adding the tomato.
