Antoinette's Kitchen: Episode 1 | Sunday Sauce with Meatballs & Sausage

Italian sausage

🥗Healthier: chicken sausage

💰Cheaper: ground turkey

Chicken sausage is lower in fat while ground turkey is more economical.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: Pecorino Romano

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and low-calorie; Pecorino is often less expensive.

Combine ground beef with 1 cup of breadcrumbs in a bowl.

Add grated Logatelli cheese, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder to the mixture.

Chop fresh parsley and add it to the meat mixture.

Mix all ingredients together with clean hands, wetting palms with water to form meatballs.

Shape the meat mixture into round meatballs.

Brown the pork ribs and Italian sausage in a pot.

Add San Marzano tomatoes and tomato puree to the pot.

Pour in red wine and add fresh basil without cutting it.

Add olive oil, chopped fresh garlic, salt, and black pepper to the pot.

Once the sauce begins to boil, add the meatballs to the sauce.

Stir in tomato paste and cover the pot to let it simmer.
