Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet.
  • Parchment paper
  • Measuring spoons
  • Small spoon
  • Chef’s Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb GROUND BEEF
  • 1/2 lb GROUND PORK
  • 1/2 cup BREADCRUMBS
  • 1 large EGG
  • 2 cloves GARLIC
  • 1/4 cup PARMESAN CHEESE
  • 2 tbsp FRESH PARSLEY
  • 20 pieces MOZZARELLA PEARLS
  • 2 cups MARINARA SAUCE
  • 1 tsp SALT
  • 1/2 tsp BLACK PEPPER

Instructions
 

  • Mix the beef and pork in a bowl. Add the breadcrumbs and the egg now. Put in your garlic and fresh herbs. Use your hands to mix it gently. Do not overwork the meat.
  • Scoop a small amount of meat. Flatten it into a small circle. Place one mozzarella pearl in the middle.
  • Fold the meat over the cheese. Roll it into a smooth ball. Ensure no cheese is showing. This prevents the cheese from leaking out.
  • Place each ball on the baking sheet. Space them out about one inch. This lets the hot air circulate.
  • Put the tray in the hot oven. Bake them until they are brown. This usually takes about twenty minutes.
  • Warm your marinara sauce in a pan. Toss the cooked meatballs in the sauce. Serve them while the cheese is melty.

Notes

  • Use cold meat for easier rolling.
  • Wet your hands to stop sticking.
  • Seal the meat tightly around the cheese.
  • Do not overcook the meatballs today.
  • Use high-quality cheese for better pulls.
  • Let them rest for five minutes.
  • Check the internal temp with a probe.
  • Chop the parsley very finely now.
