Classic Italian meatballs - Polpette di carne

The word classic is not so accurate in this case.
Polpette are such a versatile dish, everything you can shape in a ball is a polpetta.
In this video you’ll find the recipe I grew up up with.

INGREDIENTS
-Ground beef 500g (about 1.1lb)
-Breadcrumbs 80g (2/3 cup)
-Shaved Parmigiano Reggiano 80g (2/3 cup)
-Milk 20ml (1tbsp + 1 teaspoon)
-3 eggs
-Salt, pepper, parsley to taste

TIPS/ADJUSTMENTS
-Is very common using 2 parts ground beef/ 1 part ground pork. -You can substitute parmigiano with other cheeses, I often do a Pecorino romano variant.
-The quantities you find above are never too exact. Look for a malleable dough, more on the dry side (not to sticky)
-Usually polpette are fried or baked before adding it to the sauce. I don’t do that cause I love the texture of the meatballs when cooked directly into the sauce. Other than that the sauce itself will be thicker and more flavorful.
