Italian Style Meatballs
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated pecorino Romano cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a medium-high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Cover the bottom of a baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
3
To create the meatball mixture, combine bread crumbs, grated Romano cheese, a beaten egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.
4
Mix the ingredients together until they form a cohesive whole, then gently fold in the beef with your hands until well combined.
5
Form the mixture into rounded balls, approximately 1 1/4 inches in diameter.
6
Arrange these meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
7
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
8
Turn the meatballs over and continue baking until they are no longer pink in the center, which should take an additional 5 minutes.
9
Check the internal temperature of the meatballs using a thermometer inserted into the center; it should read at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit or 70 degrees Celsius.
