Method
MeatballsCombine all ingredients except oils. Add ½ cup warm water. Prepare meatballs in desired size. In a large skillet, heat equal amounts of canola and olive oil. Cook meatballs over medium-low heat, turning to brown on all sides. Carefully remove the meatballs to drain, cooking in batches to not crowd them. Discard the oil but do not clean the pan.
Sauce
Heat the olive oil in the pan from the meatballs. Cook the onions over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the wine and cook for about 3 minutes on high heat, scraping up bits in the pan. Stir in tomatoes, parsley, salt and pepper. Add the meatballs and simmer on low for 40-45 minutes until meatballs are cooked through. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Serve with spaghetti or pasta of your choice.
