  5. Add the onion and saute for for about five minutes, until softened.
  6. Remove from heat.

  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Add the bread crumb/cream mixture and mix well.

  12. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  13. Add the meatballs, in batches if necessary, and cook, turning frequently, for about seven minutes, until the meatballs are browned on all sides and cooked through.
  14. Transfer the meatballs to a plate and keep warm.
  15. Discard all but one tablespoon of fat from the skillet.
  16. Prepare the Sauce.
  17. Return the skillet to the heat.
