Meatballs

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatballs

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

  2. 2

    Form Meatballs

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

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Red Sauce

    While the meatballs are cooking, prepare your favorite red sauce (store-bought or homemade) in a pot over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Combine and Simmer

    Once meatballs are browned, transfer them to the pot with the red sauce. Simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
