Preparation

How to prepare Meatballs in White Sauce

To prepare your meatballs, chop the parsley. Then finely chop the mortadella as well 1 2. Pour it into a bowl along with the ground meat 3.

Add the chopped parsley 4, the breadcrumbs 5, and the Parmigiano Reggiano PDO 6

the salt 7, pepper, and the egg 8. Mix with a fork and when you have obtained a homogeneous mixture, add the milk 9

Mix again until you get a uniform mixture 10. Form the meatballs: take about 0.7 oz of the mixture with wet hands and shape it into a round form 11. Roll the meatballs in flour 12.

Place them on a tray as you go 13: with these quantities, you will get about 36 meatballs. Heat a splash of oil in a large non-stick pan. When hot, add the meatballs 14 and brown them on all sides, turning them gently 15.

Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. When they are cooked 16, deglaze the meatballs with white wine 17 and wait until the alcohol has completely evaporated: another 5 minutes will suffice, in total the white sauce meatballs will cook for about ten minutes. All that's left is to serve them 18!

Storage

The white sauce meatballs can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Freezing is not recommended.

Advice

Instead of white wine, you can use Marsala which will make the meatballs even more aromatic!
