Instructions

1. For the sauce, heat the olive oil in a pan, sauté the garlic and onion in it. Add the drained tomatoes, bring to the boil and simmer for about 5 minutes. Now stir in the tomato paste, stir in the sugar and lemon juice as well. Simmer on a low setting for at least 30 minutes. The longer the sauce simmer, the better it will be.
2. For the meatballs, soak the roll in the milk, then squeeze it out and tear it apart. Mix the minced meat with the oil, rolls, onions, garlic, basil, parsley, salt and pepper well until everything forms a compact mass. Shape the mixture into balls the size of a tree nut (moisten your hands slightly if necessary). Heat enough oil in a frying pan and fry the balls over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, then drain.
