Ingredients
Serves 4- 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, or more, for frying
- 2 teaspoons minced, grated, or pressed fresh garlic (about 1-2 cloves)
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 lb. ground beef or "meatloaf mix" consisting of a combination of ground beef, ground pork, and ground veal
- 1 large jar (at least 24-35 oz) marinara sauce ((or use homemade sauce))
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- For serving: pasta of choice, cooked according to package directions
Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
In a large bowl, combine meat, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a fork to gently mix. Shape the meat mixture into 2-inch balls.
- Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until oil shimmers. Add the meatballs to the skillet (working in batches, if necessary) and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Add more oil to the skillet, as needed, to prevent the meatballs from sticking. Remove meatballs from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
- Step 3
Warm the marinara sauce in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the meatballs and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes (or until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink). If the sauce starts to get too thick as it simmers, you can cover the pan at any point.
