Sicilian Meatballs
  • 1/3 cup chunky pasta sauce
  • 2 pounds ground sirloin
  • 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste


  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Coat the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with pasta sauce.
