Make the tomato sauce by blending carrot, onion, and celery with two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Simmer the mixture over medium-low heat for about 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Soak all slices of Italian or artisan bread in warm water, then squeeze out the excess moisture.
In a bowl, combine ground pork and beef (or just beef) with half of the prepared vegetable base, grated pecorino or Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, salt, one egg, pressed garlic, and chopped parsley.
Add the squeezed bread to the mixture and thoroughly mix everything with your hands until all ingredients are well combined.
Shape the mixture into meatballs around 40 grams each using wet hands.
Bake the meatballs in a preheated oven at 180 °C (356 °F) for about 20 minutes, or alternatively, quickly brown them in a pan until golden.
Add fresh basil leaves to the tomato sauce and stir gently before adding the meatballs.
Carefully place the meatballs into the tomato sauce and stir the pan gently without breaking them apart.
Cover and cook over low heat for another 30 to 40 minutes, stirring gently every 5 to 10 minutes without breaking the meatballs.
Check that the meatballs are fully cooked, tender, and juicy before serving.
