Meatballs

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, roasted garlic (mashed), breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Bake the Meatballs

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Pomodoro Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped garlic (2 cloves) and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes (1 can) and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the meatballs warm, topped with the Pomodoro sauce and shaved Parmesan cheese.
