ITALIAN PARMESAN MEATBALLS

Cheesy meatballs are simmered in marinara sauce, finished with fresh basil and served with your favorite pasta shape.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 slices stale white sandwich bread, crusts removed
1/3 cup milk
1 1/2 pounds meatloaf mix (beef, pork and veal or turkey)
2/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 onion, grated
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large egg, beaten
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cups prepared marinara sauce
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves, torn
Hot cooked pasta

Steps:

  • Grate the bread on the large holes of a box grater into coarse crumbs and put into a large bowl along with the milk and set aside for 5 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the milk. Add the meatloaf mix, Parmesan, parsley, onion, garlic, egg, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and mix until just combined. Shape the meat mixture into 18 meatballs. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Bring the marinara sauce to a very light simmer in a large Dutch oven or large wide pot. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add half the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer the meatballs to the marinara sauce as they are browned. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the skillet and repeat with the remaining meatballs.
  • Bring the sauce to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, covered, gently stirring occasionally until the meatballs are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Serve over hot pasta.

THE BEST MEATBALLS



The Best Meatballs image

I never knew how to make good meatballs until I found this recipe. I normally make mine with just ground beef and they still taste great. I've used the combination of pork, beef and veal and they are equally good. Definitely use fresh bread crumbs and freshly grate your cheese instead of using the canned variety...it really does make a difference.

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef
½ pound ground veal
½ pound ground pork
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs
1 cup freshly grated Romano cheese
1 ½ tablespoons chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups stale Italian bread, crumbled
1 ½ cups lukewarm water
1 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine beef, veal, and pork in a large bowl. Add garlic, eggs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
  • Blend bread crumbs into meat mixture. Slowly add the water 1/2 cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape if rolled into meatballs. (I usually use about 1 1/4 cups of water). Shape into meatballs.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Fry meatballs in batches. When the meatball is very brown and slightly crisp remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel. (If your mixture is too wet, cover the meatballs while they are cooking so that they hold their shape better.)

MEATBALL PARMESAN



Meatball Parmesan image

Whether you scoop this onto a toasted semolina hero roll for a sandwich, or serve it straight from the pan with garlic bread on the side, meatball Parmesan makes a filling, savory meal. You can form the meatballs up to a day ahead and keep them in the fridge until you're ready to fry. But they are best fried just before baking. Serve this with some kind of crisp green vegetable on the side.

Categories     dinner, lunch, meatballs, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 slices white bread (stale is fine)
1/3 cup milk
1 pound ground pork or veal
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/4 cups finely grated Parmesan, preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Olive oil, for frying
5 cups Simple Tomato Sauce (see recipe)
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, torn into bite-sized pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400. Remove crusts from bread slices and discard. Tear remaining bread into small pieces and place in a small bowl. Pour milk over bread and let stand until liquid is almost absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine pork or veal, beef, soaked bread, onion, 1/4 cup Parmesan, the parsley, the garlic, the salt and the pepper until just combined. Form meat into golf-ball-size rounds. (You should have about 25 meatballs.) Meatballs can be formed up to 24 hours ahead, covered and refrigerated before frying.
  • Fill a large skillet with 1/4-inch oil. Place over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, fry meatballs in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes per batch. Transfer fried meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Spoon a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle one-third of the Parmesan over sauce. Scatter half the meatballs over the Parmesan and top with half the mozzarella pieces. Top with half of the remaining sauce, sprinkle with another third of the Parmesan, and repeat layering, ending with a final layer of sauce and Parmesan.
  • Transfer pan to oven and bake until cheese is golden and casserole is bubbling, about 40 minutes. Let cool a few minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground beef and pork for a flavorful and juicy meatball.
  • Soak the bread in milk before adding it to the meatball mixture. This will help to bind the meatballs together and keep them moist.
  • Grate the Parmesan cheese fresh for the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough.
  • Form the meatballs into small, uniform balls. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Brown the meatballs in a pan before simmering them in the sauce. This will help to develop their flavor.
  • Use a flavorful tomato sauce for the meatballs. A good quality marinara sauce or a homemade sauce made with fresh tomatoes is a great option.
  • Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite pasta, rice, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

These meatballs with parsley and Parmesan are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The meatballs are flavorful and juicy, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. Serve them with your favorite pasta, rice, or vegetables for a complete meal that everyone will love.
