Meatballs

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Tomato Sauce

    Pour tomato sauce over the meatballs in the skillet, cover, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with additional grated Parmesan Reggiano if desired.
