Quick answer
How do you make Italian meatballs soft and tender?
Soak fresh breadcrumbs or crustless bread in milk (a panade), use meat with some fat such as a beef-and-pork mix, add egg, cheese and herbs, and mix just until combined. Roll gently, brown or bake, then simmer in tomato sauce until they reach 160°F inside.
