How to make meatballs the Italian way - Easy homemade recipe

Classic Italian meatballs - Polpette di carne
The word classic is not so accurate in this case.
Polpette are such a versatile dish, everything you can shape in a ball is a polpetta.
In this video you’ll find the recipe I grew up up with.
INGREDIENTS
-Ground beef 500g (about 1.1lb)
-Breadcrumbs 80g (2/3 cup)
-Shaved Parmigiano Reggiano 80g (2/3 cup)
-Milk 20ml (1tbsp + 1 teaspoon)
-3 eggs
-Salt, pepper, parsley to taste
TIPS/ADJUSTMENTS
-Is very common using 2 parts ground beef/ 1 part ground pork. -You can substitute parmigiano with other cheeses, I often do a Pecorino romano variant.
-The quantities you find above are never too exact. Look for a malleable dough, more on the dry side (not to sticky)
-Usually polpette are fried or baked before adding it to the sauce. I don’t do that cause I love the texture of the meatballs when cooked directly into the sauce. Other than that the sauce itself will be thicker and more flavorful.

It is very simple and delicious recipe! My family loved this meatball. Thank you! 돼지고기 안들어가는거 찾기 어려운데 알러지 있는 나에겐 최고의 레시피였어요. 소고기만으로도 맛있네요. 진짜 촉촉하고 안느끼하고 안질겨요. 담백하고 맛있음. Shorts 본 뒤로 3번 해먹었는데 가족들이 너무 좋아합니다.

Make mine the same way ! Simple

I prefer rolled oats instead of bread crumbs and I bake the meatballs 20 minutes in the 350°F oven.

Gonna remix it with my mexican albóndigas, so we'll see what is the result
