THE INGREDIENTS
FOR THE MEATBALLS
- 15 oz of ground meat

(just blend a slice or two of sliced white bread in the food processor to get some moist crumbs)
- 1 to 2 fresh eggs
- Olive oil as needed
- Salt
- Pepper
-
Optional: Finely grated zucchini or carrot or cabbage
(you will have to adjust the amount of eggs and bread to get the right consistency of "meat dough")

(usually about 15 oz of sauce depending on the size and shape of your pot or slow-cooker)
