Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Prepare the sauce: Pour olive oil into a preheated heavy-bottomed saucepan and sauté the onion with 2 teaspoons of salt over medium heat, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes. Add the ground pork and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until tender, about 10 minutes.
  2. Add the crushed tomatoes, marinade, and 1 cup of water to the pan with the minced meat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced by one-third, about 1 hour.

  4. Grease a baking sheet with olive oil, then place the meatballs on the sheet and bake in the oven until cooked through, about 14 minutes.
  5. Divide meatballs Portion into portions and drizzle with sauce. Polenta can be served as a side dish.
