1

Pour the tomato sauce into a large stockpot and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and keep the sauce warm while you prepare the meatballs.
2

Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and brush it lightly with oil.
3

In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs, milk, egg, Italian herb seasoning, olive oil, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes until it forms a thick slurry; set aside.
4

Combine the beef and veal in a large bowl and season with salt, black pepper, and white pepper. Sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Add the slurry mixture and mix until combined.
5

Use a small ice cream scoop to portion the meat mixture into about 48 meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
6

Cook under the preheated broiler until browned, 4 to 5 minutes; flip the meatballs. Broil until no longer pink in the centers and browned on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes more.
7

Transfer the meatballs to the simmering tomato sauce. Increase the heat to medium and cook for 5 to 10 minutes.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
