Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Meatballs

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

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake the meatballs for 15-20 minutes or until browned and cooked through.

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent.

  5. 5

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    Add crushed tomatoes, dried basil, oregano, salt, black pepper, and sugar to the skillet. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
