They’re simple, easily customizable, and are great for meal prepping.
You only have to form 4 of Jumbo-sized meatballs, cutting the recipe prep time down by at least a third.
The large meatballs are then slow-roasted in marinara sauce to make them tender and oh-so-tasty.
Directions:
Meatballs
Step 1 Center of oven; preheat to 425°. In a large bowl, combine beef and pork; season with salt and black pepper. Add onion, egg, garlic, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, and parsley. Using your hands or a rubber spatula, mix until just combined.
Step 2 Divide mixture into 4 pieces (about 11 oz. each) and form into a ball. Arrange on a baking sheet and drizzle tops with oil.
Step 3 Bake meatballs until tops and bottoms start to turn brown, about 15 minutes.
Marinara & Assembly
Step 1 In a large heavy ovenproof pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes. Add tomatoes and water and stir to combine. Add basil and oregano; season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer, stirring often, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced and flavors have melded, about 10 minutes.
Step 2 Reduce oven temperature to 325°. Transfer meatballs to marinara and spoon sauce over.
Step 3 Continue to bake until meatballs are cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 165°, about 30 minutes more.
Step 4 Serve meatballs with pasta. Spoon more sauce over. Top with Parmesan.
Serving ideas:
The meatballs are big enough to split in half and are best served over your favorite pasta. You can never go wrong with classic spaghetti. Just don’t forget a shower of Parmesan on top.
