Ingredients

Tomato Sauce:

Method

In bowl, mix together bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, baking powder and salt; stir in eggs, milk and parsley. With oiled hands, shape into 20 balls; refrigerate on baking sheet for 30 minutes.

Tomato Sauce: In large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 3 minutes.

Add 1-1/2 cups water, tomatoes, tomato paste, wine and salt; simmer until thickened, about 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; cook balls, turning often, until golden all over, about 4 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to sauce. Cover and simmer until firm inside, about 20 minutes. Stir in basil.
