Ingredients
Scale
1 pound (450g) ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups tomato sauce
Basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, oregano, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to knead the mixture gently until evenly combined.
With wet hands, shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches, browning them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden.
Transfer the browned meatballs to a plate. In the same skillet, add the tomato sauce, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Add the meatballs back in, cover, and let simmer for about 25-30 minutes.
Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes. Serve topped with fresh basil.
