Provided by Katarina Filipov

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ lb ground beef, or veal
½ red onion
½ cup breadcrumb
fresh parsley
salt and pepper, to taste
1 egg
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tomatoes, diced
1 cup tomato paste
½ onion, chopped
italian seasoning
1 cup shredded cheese, (mozzarella or cheddar)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Chop red onion, garlic, and parsley. Mix the ground meat, egg, breadcrumbs, red onion, garlic, and parsley. Shape into balls (around the size of a golf ball).
  • Heat olive oil on a cast-iron pan. Add meatballs and leave them on until they get crispy and brown on the outside. They do not have to be fully-cooked as they will bake in the oven.
  • For the marinara sauce, add onions to the pot. Once translucent, add tomatoes.
  • Add tomato paste and simmer for 10 minutes. Then, add Italian seasoning.
  • Transfer the sauce into the cast-iron pan. Nestle the meatballs in the sauce and sprinkle the cheese over the meatballs.
  • Bake for twenty minutes.
  • Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.
  • Enjoy!
