Divide between 2 - 13x9x2 glass baking dishes. Bake 30 minutes.
- Dust meatballs with flour; shake off excess. Melt butter with oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add meatballs to skillet and saute until brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Return all meatballs to skillet. Whisk wine, and tomatoe paste in small bowl to blend. Add wine to meatballs and bring to boil. Continue boiling until wine thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Add broth, reduce heat to medium and simmer about 15 minutes.
