  3. Place all meatball ingredients, except olive oil, in a large bowl and mix gently.Do not over mix the meatballs, they will be tough.Form and shape either small, 2" diameter balls or larger.Salt and pepper and set aside.Now you can either drop the meatballs into the simmering sauce for 3 hours or you can sear them first in the remaining olive oil and then drop them into the sauce.My Italian friends prefer the fried meatballs.
