Method

1

Combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overwork.

2

Form mixture into 12 equal meatballs, each about 2 inches in diameter. Place on a plate.

3

Cook pasta (or your chosen grain/vegetable base) according to package directions while meatballs cook; drain and set aside.

4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add meatballs in a single layer and brown for 3–4 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a plate.

5

Pour marinara sauce into the same skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Return meatballs to the sauce and simmer gently for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until meatballs are cooked through.

6

Divide cooked pasta or base among bowls. Top with meatballs and sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and additional parmesan if desired. Serve warm.
