Zucchini Balls with Tomato sauce: Method
- Cut the bread into squares and soak it in milk for half an hour.
- Grate the zucchini, sprinkle them with salt, put them in a cloth and squeeze very well as to get rid of as much water as possible. Also squeeze the bread very well, make it into crumbs and put it in a bowl.
- Add the zucchini to the crumbled bread, a crushed or chopped clove of garlic, parmesan cheese, two eggs and a spoonful of breadcrumbs.
- Mix well and if the dough is too soft to make balls add some breadcrumbs (if you squeezed the zucchini properly, you won't need it).
- Shape the mixture into balls with your hands and roll them into flour.
- In a 25 cm diameter ring pan, put olive oil, add the meatballs and brown them for a few minutes (do this step twice if they don't all fit into the pan).
- Set aside the cooked Zucchini balls and in the same pan put olive oil and a can of Mutti Finely Chopped Tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, add a few basil leaves and stir for 10 minutes. Then add the meatballs to season them with the sauce.
- Cook covered for 10 minutes then serve hot.
