Category: Meatballs
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  


1 1/2 lbs ground pork
2 cloves garlic, mashed
1/2 cup fresh basil
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
2 eggs
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup parmesan cheese freshly cracked black pepper
Salt

Sauce
Olive oil
2 to 3 cloves of garlic
2 cans of tomatoes
Dried basil
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup fresh chopped basil

For the Meatballs: Put the meat in a bowl. Tip: Using a microplane grate the garlic. This is the quickest and easiest way to make a garlic paste. Add the parmesan cheese and the salt and pepper. Pulse the basil with the bread crumbs and add to the bowl. Add the eggs and mix well. Tip: To check for seasoning by frying a small piece.

Form into meatballs and brown in olive oil. Add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer about one hour.

For the Sauce: Add the garlic cloves to the oil and saute for 30 to 60 seconds. Do not let the garlic brown. Add the tomatoes, dried basil, salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Add the browned meatballs and continue to simmer for about an hour or until the meatballs are tender. Just before serving add fresh chopped basil.
