Ingredients:  
1 (28 oz. to 32oz.) can whole tomatoes in juice
2 garlic cloves, chopped

1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 C fine fresh bread crumbs
1/2 C whole milk

Directions:
Pulse tomatoes, with their juice, in food processor until chopped. Transfer to a 3 qt heavy saucepan, add garlic, oregano and 1/2 ts. salt and bring to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened, about 20 min.
Meanwhile, stir together bread crumbs and milk in a large bowl and let stand for 5 min. Add meat, onion, 3 tbsp parsley, red pepper flakes and remaining 1 tsp salt and blend with your hands until just combined; do not overmix. Form 2 tbsp amounts of mixture into meatballs (you will have about 20).
Heat oil in a 12-in. heavy skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Cook meatballs in 2 batches, turning occasionally, until well browned, about 5 min per batch. With a slotted spoon, transfer to tomato sauce.
Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until meat-balls are cooked through, about 5 min. Serve over pasta, sprinkled with remaining 2 tbsp parsley.
