Ingredients

4 servings

For the meatballs

½ cup plain breadcrumbs
Aiva Products Bread Crumbs
See all
⅓ cup whole milk
1 lb ground beef (80/20)
½ lb ground pork
½ cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
Chef's tip
Swap it in for an equal amount of the oil or butter the recipe cooks with - do not add it on top of the existing fat.
1 large egg
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper

For searing

2 tbsp olive oil

For the sauce

1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce

For serving

fresh basil leaves, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk and let them sit for 2 minutes until the breadcrumbs have absorbed the milk.
2
Add the ground beef, ground pork, Parmesan, garlic, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix with your hands until just combined — stop as soon as no streaks of breadcrumb remain; overmixing will tighten the meatballs.
