Form the mixture into 12 equal-sized meatballs and roll them in breadcrumbs.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and brown the meatballs on all sides.
Prepare the sauce by sautéing chopped onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and fennel, then adding the tomato passata.
Add the meatballs to the sauce, stir in parsley, and simmer covered for 10 minutes.
