Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for the meatballs.

  2. Mix very well, until all ingredients are evenly incorporated throughout.

  3. Form meatballs that are about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. (You can make them bigger or smaller if you prefer.)

  4. Preheat a large cooking pan over medium heat and add a couple of tablespoons of cooking oil.

  5. Place meatballs in the pan, cover with a lid and cook until almost done, turning the meatballs over half way through the cooking.

  6. In a sauce pot, add olive oil and preheat the pot over medium heat.

  7. Add pressed garlic and saute until flagrant.

  8. Add heavy whipping cream and whisk in tomato paste, sour cream, dry Parmesan cheese and salt to taste. Whisk well and let the sauce heat through.

Super yum! This recipe was a hit with my husband, 9 year old stepdaughter, AND my 1 year old son! I didn’t have any sun dried tomatoes or sour cream and it still tasted great. I also used 1 cup of Panko bread crumbs instead of bread slices. Thanks for this recipe! Will definitely make it again!
