Meatballs

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ricotta cheese, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  3. 3

    Form Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter.

  4. 4

    Sear Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, searing them until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Bake Meatballs

    Transfer the seared meatballs to a baking dish and pour the marinara sauce over them. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your meatballs with additional marinara sauce if desired!
