    Soak the bread in milk for a couple of minutes. Squeeze out excess milk and crumble bread.

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Brown the meatballs for 4 to 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    In a large saucepan, heat the remaining oil. Add the chopped onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until soft. Add the remaining garlic and the tomatoes. Season and cook for 30 minutes.

    Whisk the tomato paste and water together. Add to the tomatoes. Add the meatballs.
