Meatball Ingredients

Method

Meatball Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Meatballs

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

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Zugu Marinara

    Once the meatballs are browned, pour Zugu marinara sauce over the meatballs in the skillet. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

  5. 5

    Melt Provolone

    Top the meatballs with sliced provolone cheese, cover, and let it melt for about 5 minutes before serving.
