Tips
- Soaking breadcrumbs keeps meatballs soft and not dry.
- Roll meatballs to marble size.
- Cook onion over medium low heat until extremely soft, no browning.
- Cook pasta in the sauce so that starches naturally thicken it.
- Keep heat gentle to maintain the canned vibe.
- If sauce is too thick, add 1 to 2 tbsp water.
