Recipe



1 Pound Dried Pasta Of Choice


To make the sauce, heat the oil in a large saucepan. Cook the onions until soft. Add the garlic, and cook until it is fragrant. Add the wine and cook until it has almost evaporated. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, 2 cups of water, and seasonings. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes.

Wrap the chicken breasts in plastic wrap to protect them, and place them in the freezer until they are slightly firm to the touch, but not frozen. Remove from the freezer, and using a sharp knife, cut the chicken into tiny pieces, smaller than little peas. In a bowl, place the chicken, egg, cheese, and seasonings. Squeeze the milk from the bread slices, and crumble this into the chicken mixture. Mix well with your hands until the bread is blended into the chicken well. The mixture will be quite moist at this time.

Using wet hands, form the chicken into golf ball sized meatballs, and carefully drop them into the simmering sauce. Use up all of the chicken mixture in this fashion. Leave the pot partially covered, and simmer for 20 minutes. Carefully stir the mixture, and then cook another 40 minutes. Serve over your pasta of choice cooked al dente with the meatballs served on the side.
