1 pound ground veal
1 pound ground pork
1/2 pound ground sweet Italian sausage
1 cup Italian style breadcrumbs
1/2 cup parmesan
1/4 cup pecorino
Couple of torn basil leaves
2 xl eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup ricotta
2 32-oz jars marinara sauce
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Place the meats in a large mixing bowl, adding breadcrumb, parmesan, pecorino, basil and 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and blend lightly. Add eggs, milk, ricotta and 1/4 cup of garlic infused olive oil (or just use regular olive oil and add a few dashes garlic powder). Mix lightly but thoroughly.
Measure each meatball about 2 1/2 oz - place about one inch apart - will need two sheet pans - brush meatballs with olive oil and bake for about 25-30 minutes until lightly browned.
Add to simmering marinara sauce and simmer about 10 minutes before serving.
