Steps:
- Grate the bread into coarse crumbs on the large holes of a box grater; put in a large bowl. Add the milk and set aside for 5 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the milk. Add the beef, Parmesan, parsley, onion, garlic, egg, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; mix until just combined. Shape the meat mixture into 18 meatballs, working a piece of mozzarella into the center of each and making sure it?s completely covered. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Bring the marinara sauce to a very light simmer in a large Dutch oven or large wide pot. Heat half of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally and adding the remaining oil as needed, until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer the meatballs to the marinara sauce as they are browned.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, covered, gently stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Serve over hot pasta.

Steps:
- For the tomato sauce heat the oil in a decent sized saucepan. When the oil is hot enough add the onion, pepper and garlic. Stir this mixture and cook for a few minutes on a medium heat till it has all softened and the onions are almost see-through. Then add the mushrooms and cook for a few minutes more.
- Now add the tinned tomatoes, tomato puree, herbs, salt & pepper, wine and oxo cube. Don't worry about pour the wine in after the tinned tommatoes as there is no need to bubble off the alcohol in a dry pan as simmering the sauce later will do this anyway.
- Bring the sauce to the boil and then simmer for 1/2 an hour to an hour. Keep the lid off of the pan till the sauce as thickened up enough for you, when you can then put the lid back on. If the sauce is too dry at any point add some water. Stir occasionally to check that the sauce isn't sticking to the pan and that it isn't too dry.
- For the meatballs, soak the breadcrumbs in the wine for 5 minutes. While this is happening use the time to check the sauce and preheat the oven to 125C (in a non fan assisted oven)
- Add to the breadcrumbs the minced meat, mixed herbs, parmesan, pepper and egg. Mix this all up with your hands.
- Split this meat mixture into 30 - 40 meatballs roughly. With each meatball flatten it out roughly in one hand, add a cube of mozzarella and shape the meatball so that the mozzarella is sealed inside each one.
- When the meatballs are all rounded, heat the oil in a frying pan to brown and seal the meatballs in batches. When browned, add the meatballs to an oven dish.
- Put the meatballs in the oven for 25-30 minutes, and mix them around 1/2 way through so that they all cook evenly.
- When you take them out, cut a fat one open just to check that they are cooked all the way through. If not quite completely cooked pop back in the oven for 5 more minutes.
- Serve this with spaghetti. You can either stir the pasta, sauce and meatballs all together and serve, or you can add the sauce to the meatballs in the oven dish, sprinkle with grated cheese and bake for 5 minutes more, till the cheese has melted. Be aware that the quantity of meatballs for this recipe will serve more people than the sauce will, so you can put any leftover meatballs in the fridge for another day :)

- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray the foil with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, basil, oregano, egg and Worcestershire Sauce. Mix together until ingredients are incorporated.
- Pinch off 2 tablespoons of meat mixture and roll into a ball. Make a large indentation in the middle (without pushing all the way through), and place 3 mozzarella pearls in the middle of the indentation. Bring the meat up and around the cheese, and completely close off the cheese inside the meat. Roll gently to smooth out the meatball. Place the ball on the lined baking sheet and repeat until all meatballs are made.
- Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes. If the cheese bubbles out, the meatballs still taste great. (I made several of these and just a few cooked without the cheese bubbling out.)
