嫩滑、多汁、味道丰富 - 这些经典意大利美式肉丸是真正的家庭厨房必备品。由牛肉和猪肉混合制成，用帕玛森芝士、大蒜和新鲜欧芹调味，用浸过牛奶的面包糠混合物粘合（保持湿润的秘密）。用平底锅煎至金黄色外壳，然后在番茄酱中煮至完全熟透。非常适合搭配意大利面、夹入潜艇三明治或单独作为开胃菜。

步骤说明

1. 1

   In a small mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Stir together and let sit for 5 minutes until the milk is fully absorbed. This panade keeps the meatballs moist and tender.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, ground pork, soaked breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, flat-leaf parsley, kosher salt, black pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix with your hands just until everything is evenly combined — do not overwork the meat or the meatballs will be tough.

3. 3

   Roll the mixture into balls about 1.5 inches in diameter (roughly the size of a golf ball), using about 2 tablespoons of mixture per meatball. You should get approximately 20–22 meatballs. Place them on a plate as you go. Wet your hands lightly to prevent sticking.

4. 4

   Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over ^[medium-high heat]. Working in batches to avoid crowding, sear the meatballs for about 2–3 minutes per side, turning with tongs, until a deep golden-brown crust forms on all sides. They do not need to be fully cooked through at this stage. Transfer seared meatballs to a clean plate.

5. 5

   Reduce the skillet heat to ^[medium]. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet (leave any browned bits — that's flavor). Add the sliced garlic and cook, stirring, for about 60 seconds until fragrant and just turning golden. Do not let it burn.

6. 6

   Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the kosher salt, basil, and sugar (if using). Stir to combine and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

7. 7

   Carefully nestle the seared meatballs back into the simmering sauce. Spoon a little sauce over the top of each meatball. Reduce the heat to ^[medium-low], cover the skillet, and simmer for 15–18 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through to an internal temperature of %[165°F].

8. 8

   Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional kosher salt and black pepper as needed. If the sauce has thickened too much, stir in a splash of water to loosen it.

9. 9

   Serve the meatballs and sauce over spaghetti, in hoagie rolls, or on their own. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and torn fresh basil or parsley. Enjoy immediately.
