Description
Cozy bowl of tender beef meatballs simmered in a fragrant tomato sauce served over soft, buttery egg noodles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into meatballs.
- Mix gently but thoroughly so ingredients bind. Avoid overworking the meat.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8–10 minutes.
- Once meatballs are cooked through, pour marinara sauce over them and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Serve the meatballs and sauce over the cooked egg noodles, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Reserve a little pasta water when draining noodles to help the sauce cling. Grated Parmesan can be added at the table for extra flavor.
