ingredients for 6 people
500g minced beef, 150g pork sausage, 150g stale bread, 120g Parmesan cheese, 2 eggs, nutmeg to taste, breadcrumbs 4 tablespoons, mortadella 500g parsley, salt and pepper to taste, oil for frying to taste, basil sauce 1 jar

Soak the stale bread in a bowl with water. In another bowl, put the minced beef, the sausage without the wrapping and chopped with your hands: add the 2 eggs, the bread and the grated cheese. To flavor the meatballs, add the chopped mortadella, finely chopped parsley, a pinch of nutmeg, salt and pepper. Mix all the ingredients using your hands: you will need to obtain a homogeneous and compact dough. With your hands, form balls of about 4 cm with the meat mixture: when they are all ready, fry them in a pan with plenty of oil for frying. Once fried, transfer the meatballs onto absorbent paper sheets so that they dry from the excess oil.After completing the frying operation, pour the ITALIANAVERA sauce into a pan, dip the meatballs in and let them flavor a covered pan and a moderate heat for about 10 minutes or until the meatballs have absorbed part of the sauce.

Lightly oil an ovenproof dish and place the meatballs on it. Add a drizzle of oil and bake in a preheated static oven at 180 ° C for about 40 minutes (cooking time will depend on the size of the meatballs!), Until the surface is golden brown.
