How to cook deliciously - Meatball Boats

1 . Stage

Preheat oven to 375° F.

2 . Stage

In a large bowl, combine ground beef with egg, breadcrumbs, parmesan, garlic and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Form into 12 evenly sized balls.

3 . Stage

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Cook meatballs until they are seared on all sides, about 4 minutes. Then add marinara sauce and cover with a lid. Cook until meatballs are no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes more.

Top with additional parmesan and parsley if desired and serve.
