Meatballs and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatballs

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Pomodoro Sauce

    While the meatballs are baking, heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the crushed tomatoes and simmer for about 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the meatballs are done, add them to the pomodoro sauce and let them simmer together for 5 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil and alongside garlic bread.
