Meatballs and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatballs

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined. Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meatballs

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

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, and basil. Bring to a simmer, then return the meatballs to the skillet. Cover and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the meatballs in the sauce, topped with extra Parmesan cheese. Enjoy with grilled focaccia on the side.
