In a food processor combine Jamoneta Salami, bread, eggs, parmesan cheese, milk, salt, and baking soda. Do not over mix, just press the pulse button until a nice mixture is achieved.

Now roll out meatballs about 2 1/2 inches thick and preheat oven to 400°F.
Roast the meatballs for about 20-25 minutes or until brown, then reserve to finish cooking them in the sauce.
In a big sauce pot, add extra virgin olive oil, onions and garlic and cook for about 3 minutes on medium heat.
Add oregano, red pepper flakes, and tomato paste, cook for another 3 minutes.
Now add the wine and bring it to a boil.
Add canned tomatoes and water. Bring to a boil.
Add meatballs and bring them to a boil, then lower heat to medium low, and simmer until meatballs are cooked.
Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper and add basil.
