Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the meat, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, half the garlic, half the onion, salt, white pepper and seasoning cubes. Mix by hand until just combined.
2. Scoop the mixture with an ice cream scoop and shape each portion into a ball in your palms. Place the balls on a tray and repeat until all the mixture is used.
3. Heat the oil in a pan on high for about 5 minutes. Lower the heat to medium, then add the meatballs without crowding the pan.
4. Cook one side for 3 minutes, flip and cook the other side for about 3 minutes. Remove from the oil and repeat with the remaining balls.
5. Add the remaining onion and garlic to the oil and sauté until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until they shrink.
6. Add the tomato sauce and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the tomatoes no longer taste sour, stirring occasionally. If the sauce is too thick, add 1/2 to 1 cup of water.
7. Add the remaining seasoning cubes and a pinch of salt and stir well. Add the meatballs and mix gently to coat them in sauce, then simmer for about 10 minutes.
8. Stir in the chopped basil, turn off the heat and serve over boiled spaghetti, another pasta or boiled rice.
