Method

Meatballs

Prepare the Meatballs

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Form the Meatballs

Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cook the Meatballs

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and browned.

Marinara Sauce

Cook the Sauce

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Combine Ingredients

Add crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and sugar to the skillet. Stir and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Assembly

Combine Meatballs and Sauce

Once the meatballs are cooked, add them to the marinara sauce and let them simmer together for an additional 5 minutes.

Prepare the Bread

While the meatballs are simmering, heat a skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on one side of each slice of rustic bread and grill until golden brown.

Serve

To serve, place the meatballs in a bowl, top with shredded mozzarella cheese, and let it melt slightly before serving with grilled rustic bread on the side.
