Instructions
Prepare the Meatballs
In a large bowl, combine the ground veal, pork, and beef. Add breadcrumbs, egg, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well until combined.
Form the Meatballs
Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. Set aside.
Cook the Meatballs
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Simmer
Return the meatballs to the skillet with the sauce. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Serve
Serve the meatballs hot, topped with the rich tomato garlic sauce, alongside pasta or crusty bread.
