The BEST Italian Meatball Recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix with your hands until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Shape into large meatballs (I use a heaping large cookie scoop, which is 3 tablespoons) and place on the baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake for 20 minutes. Turn the meatballs over, reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F and bake for an additional 20 minutes.

Step 5

Place the meatballs in a simmering pot of sauce for at least 1 hour before serving.
