Use them to top spaghetti or to stuff inside rolls for meatball sub sandwiches! Source: Ingredients:
3/4 lb ground beef |
3/4 lb ground pork |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
3/4 cup breadcrumbs |
2 large eggs |
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese |
1/4 cup chopped parsley |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 black pepper |
1 tablespoon milk |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
6 cups marinara sauce |
Directions:
1. 1. In a large bowl, combine the meat, garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan, parsley, salt, a couple of grinds of pepper and a splash of milk. Mix together well with clean hands. Roll into 24 1 1/2-inch balls and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Place the baking sheet with the meatballs into the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to firm them up slightly.
2. 2. To brown the meatballs, heat a couple of swirls of olive oil (about 2 tablespoons) in a heavy pot or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs, turning to brown all sides. They do not need to be cooked through.
3. 3. Add the meatballs and marinara sauce to a large pot and stir gently. Heat over medium heat until the sauce begins to bubble. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring very gently a couple of times during simmering.
4. 4. Serve meatballs and marinara over noodles or stuffed into rolls with melted mozzarella cheese.
