To prepare the meatballs with the sauce start with the dough: cut the breadcrumbs into pieces and pour into a mixer equipped with blades and chop everything until the crumb is reduced to crumbs.


Keep aside the breadcrumbs and remove the string from the sausages, delicately slice them lengthwise and then remove the gut. With the blade of a knife or fork, crush the meat, then pour it into a bowl with the minced meat.

Then add the oregano, a pinch of grated nutmeg and the minced parsley. Finally the grated Parmesan and the crumb that you have previously chopped with the egg and knead everything with your hands, adjusting salt and pepper and stirring until you have obtained a homogeneous mixture.

With the mixture obtained go to form balls weighing 20 grams each, taking a piece of dough and mixing it with both hands: with our doses you have to get 24 meatballs. As soon as all the meatballs are ready, heat the oil in a non-stick pan and, when the oil is hot, place the meatballs, leaving them to cook on both sides for a couple of minutes.

Pour the tomato pulp pour the water, add salt, season with pepper and continue cooking by lowering the heat for 15-20 minutes. Once ready, flavored with dried oregano and you can taste your meatballs with the sauce still steaming!
