To make the meatballs: In a large bowl, mix together all the
ingredients, except the canola oil. Shape heaping teaspoons of the
mixture into 1-inch balls. In a Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil
over medium-high heat. Working in batches, wiping pan in between, saute
the meatballs, turning frequently for even browning, until cooked

Heat oil in the same Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the
onions and saute until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add the crushed
red pepper and cook 1 minute. Stir in the remaining ingredients and
reduce heat to low.
Add the browned meatballs to the Dutch oven and toss gently to coat
with sauce.
