Shape the mixture into medium-sized meatballs.

Roll the meatballs in breadcrumbs to coat them.

Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the meatballs until golden brown on all sides.

For the pizzaiola sauce, sauté minced garlic in olive oil until fragrant.

Add the ready-made tomato pulp, water, oregano, pepper, and salt to the pan. Stir to combine and let simmer.
