Instructions
Step 1
Cook pasta according to package instructions for al dente
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine ingredients for the meatballs. Use clean hands to gently mix until all the ingredients are well combined. Do not over-mix as it will yield a tough meatball. If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs. If meat mixture is too dry, add a little more milk.
Step 3
Scoop out the meatball mixture then use your hands to roll each meatball into a 2 inch ball. Lay the rolled meatballs out on a baking tray.
Step 4
Heat a large pot or pan under medium heat add about 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the meatballs to the pan and ensure the meatballs are spread out and do not touch (you may have to cook them in batches depending on the size of your pan). Cook the meatballs until browned on all sides (about 2 minutes on each side).
Step 5
Once all your meatballs are browned, add the marinara sauce to the pan and give the pan a gentle shake so that every meatball is covered in the sauce.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid. Let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for about 7 minutes.
Step 7
Add noodles to individual bowls then ladle on the meatballs and marinara. Top with grated parmesan and garnish with fresh parsley before serving (*optional).
