Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    PREPARING THE FULLBLOOD WAGYU MEATBALLS
    Preheat the oven to 400°F.In a large bowl, gently combine all ingredients (beef, prosciutto, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, panko bread crumbs, eggs, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, ground fennel seed, ground nutmeg, garlic cloves, onion, parsley, and sherry vinegar). Roll the mixture into 1.5-inch balls. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Bake at 400°F for 13 minutes or until firm on the outside.

  3. 3

    PREPARING THE MARINARA SAUCE
    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté for about 10 minutes until translucent. Add the celery, carrots, 1 teaspoon sea salt, and 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Sauté for about 10 minutes until all the vegetables are soft.

  4. 4

    Add the canned tomatoes, garlic, basil, bay leaf, and sherry vinegar.Simmer uncovered over low heat until the sauce thickens - this usually takes about 1 hour. Remove the bay leaf and discard it.Purée the cooked sauce, and season it (to taste) with more sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  5. 5

    PREPARING THE PASTA
