Directions
- Stir together the milk and breadcrumbs in a large mixing bowl and set aside for 15 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to soak up the milk.
- Add the pork, garlic, egg, Parmesan, parsley, salt, and crushed red pepper to the bowl and mix together using your hands until everything is thoroughly combined. Form the mixture into 1-inch balls and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the meatballs in the hot oil, in batches, until well browned all over, about 3 minutes per batch. Transfer the seared meatballs to a plate and set aside.
- Discard all but 1 TBSP oil from the the dutch oven and reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and cook while stirring until fragrant, about 3 seconds. Add the tomatoes, salt, and pepper and bring to a slight boil then reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the parsley and basil.
- Stir the seared meatballs into the sauce. Cover the dutch oven and simmer the meatballs until cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
