Shape the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches (3.5 cm) in diameter, placing them on a tray as you form.
- 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the meatballs on all sides, about 2–3 minutes per side. They should be well-browned but not cooked through. Transfer browned meatballs to a plate.

In the same skillet, add the crushed tomatoes, water, oregano, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer and cook about 5 minutes to blend flavors; season lightly with salt if needed.

Lower the heat to medium-low and return the meatballs to the sauce. Simmer, covered, for 25–30 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

Remove the bay leaf. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if desired. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
