Delight in these flavorful Italian-style meatballs, perfect for pairing with your favorite pasta or enjoying as a standalone dish.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the correct temperature for baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the meatballs dense.
Add the egg to the mixture and mix until just combined.
The egg acts as a binder, helping the meatballs hold their shape.
Shape the mixture into evenly sized balls, about the size of a golf ball.
Using a small ice cream scoop can help achieve uniform sizes.
Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Lining the sheet with parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Pour water into the baking sheet to create steam during baking.
The steam helps keep the meatballs moist and tender.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
Serve the meatballs with your favorite Italian sauce and pasta.
Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for a touch of elegance.
