Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup finely crushed ritz crackers
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 medium onion, minced (about 1/2 cup)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 1/2 tbsp chopped chives
1 1/2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp italian seasoning
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
1 1/2 tbsp tomato paste
1/4 cup red wine
1 14 1/2- oz. can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
salt and pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Make meatballs: Soak cracker crumbs in milk for 5 minutes. Warm oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion until tender, about 4 minutes. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute longer.
Combine cracker and onion mixtures with remaining meatball ingredients; mix thoroughly but do not overwork. Shape into 1 1/4-inch balls.
Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil. Mist a wire rack with cooking spray; place over sheet. Place meatballs on rack. Bake until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of a meatball reads 160°F, 20 to 25 minutes.
Make sauce: Warm oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion for 3 minutes. Add garlic, Italian seasoning and red pepper; sauté 2 minutes. Add tomato paste; stir for 30 seconds. Pour in wine; stir until evaporated. Add tomatoes. Reduce heat; simmer until thick, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with meatballs.
