In a large bowl combine ingredients for meatballs except the olive oil. Scoop out 2 Tbsp and form into balls.
Set a sauté pan over medium heat. Add in 2 Tbsp Garlic & Herb Olive Oil, once hot add in meatballs. Cook 2-3 minutes until a crust forms then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan.
To make the sauce drain the oil from the pan then add 1 Tbsp Garlic & Herb Olive Oil, garlic cloves, tomato paste, and Black Garlic Sea Salt, let cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add in canned tomatoes, water, Miscuglio, and Dark Balsamic Vinegar, stir to combine.
