Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 levels F.
To help make the meatballs: Inside a large bowl, combine the Parmesan, bread crumbs, onion powder, sage, salt, a couple of grinds of pepper, to taste, and parsley. Add some ground round, pork, eggs, and garlic clove and lightly combine. Form into 8 equal-sized meatballs.
Inside a 10-inch saute pan over medium-high temperature, add some vegetable oil. Once the oil starts to swirl, add some meatballs and sear until light golden on every side, about ten minutes. Transfer the pan towards the oven and roast until cooked through, fifteen minutes.
Meanwhile, result in the sauce: Inside a large saucepan over medium heat, add some oil, onion, bell pepper, garlic clove, a pinch of salt, along with a couple of grinds of pepper, to taste. Saute until tender, adding the oregano, red pepper cayenne, crushed tomato plants, and hot sauce. Taste and add sugar, as needed. Season, to taste, with pepper and salt. Bring the sauce to some simmer, and prepare for around twenty minutes more.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning, if required. Serve the cooked pasta with sauce and meatballs, divided among serving plates with 2 meatballs per serving. Garnish with Mozzarella dairy product .
