Combine all the ingredients for the meatballs and knead with your hands until it is well-mixed.Put two tablespoons of this mixture in the palm of your hand and roll into balls. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Once it breaks the boil, carefully place the meatballs into the sauce. Simmer covered until they are cooked throughout, turning them to cook evenly (about 7 mins per side). Season with salt to taste, and add the parsley. Remove from the heat and serve.
